Tosor Gorge

Admin 1 23.02.2024

Tosor Gorge is a mountain pass located on the Tersky AlaToo ridge, on the southern shore of Issyk-Kul near the village of Tosor. The gorge is mainly known for the Kirchi Narin valley and the pass (3900 meters) leading to the Naryn region. Through this pass it is possible to reach Giru Suu hot springs and Teshik Kul lake. This pass is the only high pass with a highway on the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. The gorge is popular with off-road drivers and cyclists.

The undulations of the canyon are very interesting, with the beginning of the canyon narrowing abruptly and the road coming very close to the river in some places. This part of Tothol is lush with Japanese knotweed and other green vegetation. This picturesque landscape continues for about 5 km after the gorge passes through a rock gate into a wide mountain valley. From here there are three roads. The road on the right takes you along a beautiful mountain road to the village of Bokonbayevo, where you pass the village of Kadjy-Say and a small ravine. The road on the left is very short and leads to the local forest area. The road continues straight towards the pass. At an altitude of about 3000 meters there is another turn leading to the neighboring Tamga Gorge. There are many tourist routes in the Tosor Valley. It is an ideal place for day hikes and picnics.
