Sairam-Ugam National Park

Sairam-Ugam National Nature Park is a world-renowned national park and one of the main components of the World Heritage Site. High up in the dramatic mountain range, you'll find incredible places for ecotourism and exploring untouched nature. Punctuating it all are the snowmelt rivers of Mashat, Sairamsu, Kaskasu, Ugam Burgulyuk, Badam, Daubaba, and Kokbulak, which meander through the landscape of glacial mountains.

Snow-capped Sairam Peak rises 4000 metres above sea level, while the Makpal Lake glistens light blue. The rich biodiversity of resident endangered snow leopard, Turkestan lynx, bear, wolves, and Menzbir's marmot make this a truly unique ecosystem.

Choose to go hiking, horseback riding, or biking amongst scenic gorges and canyons. Stay in guest houses in Kaskasu, Dikhanko, Lengerl, and Nysanbek mountain towns. Be sure to seek out the many waterfalls, ancient settlements, and rock paintings that make this region especially attractive to visitors.
