The dazzling winter hike at the Ala Archa National Park

Enjoy the snowy wonderland at this hiking gem! The Ala Archa National Park is truly a hiking paradise near to the capital city (38km). It was established in 1976 by the Soviet government to serve as a preservation habitat to many species of animals, a site for alpinism, weekend leisure and picnics. The altitude above sea level here ranges from 2000 to 4000m and a large number of trekking paths lead their ways high up the mountains to the glaciers and waterfalls! The lovely hike out in the nature and the acquaintance with our culture - all you need to spend one of the vacation days!
