Here, in the narrow valley of a seemingly ordinary river, you will find a high concentration of wonderful, stunning landscapes, waterfalls and amazing rock formations. Paired with an unexpectedly rich flora and fauna, this region is considered by many to be a symbol of the Kyrgyz ridge (Ala-Too).

With over 35 km length it stands as the largest of all the gorges of the Kyrgyz Ridge. «Ala-Archa» is translated from Kyrgyz, meaning «varicolored juniper».

Due to the great diversity of junipers in the gorge and their different colors and shapes, the valley truly deserves its name.
