It’s time to fall into the embrace of the Tyan-Shyan. Leaving Almaty we go along the most beautiful places of the Zayliy Ala-Tau. Leaving off asphalt we go to endless Kazakh steppes where gallery of the ancient stone pictures ‘Tamgaly tas’ is waiting for us. These stones are painted by ancient people of 14-12 century b.c. It is a unique place. On the square of several kms there is a picture of life at the stones - from a picture of a man’s love to a woman, till ceremonial pictures the meaning of which still remains a mystery. The sunset on the endless horizon, open air and the smell of different steppe grass. What else do we need for a good start?

Leaving out of Bishkek, we go through a line of different villages, the border between them is hardly seen, only the road signs can help you to see it. That is why we turn to the Kyrgyz range and start our climbing to the famous pass Too-Ashu (3700 m). It is a real stairs to the sky! It is famous for its 4 km tunnel through its peak. Going through it and coming down we go along the river Kokomeren. This night we spend at the guest house in the village Chayek
