If you're looking for comfortable accommodation while you explore the World Heritage Site, the most popular destination in the mountains is the Amirsoy Mountain Resort. This gorgeous retreat rests in the heart of the Western Tien-Shan Mountains and is open during all seasons.

In winter, base yourself here and try outdoor sports like skiing, snowboarding, or sledding. Other activities include spas, visiting mountain towns, or eating local shish kebabs. It doesn't matter how cold it is outside if you can come back to these luxurious and toasty-warm rooms!

The slope of the Maygashkan Mountain is part of the Chatkal mountain range. In the summer here you can visit cave sites along the Aktash river, the fortress of Jilga-Tepa, and Guria Mugh's 'cemetery of magicians'. It is also possible to visit the local villages of Nanai, Nevich, and Sukok, which rest in the foothills of the Chatkal range.
