Place

Small village of yak breeders, located at the crossroads with China and Tajikistan on the Silk Roads. Sary Tash means in Kyrgyz "the yellow stone". From the village, there is a panoramic view of the Zalaïskiy mountain range. To the west where the waters of the Kyzyl-Suu river flow towards Djirgatal in Tajikistan, we can see the Lenin peak rising to 7134 meters above sea level. To the east, the road leads to Kashgar, following the Zalayskiy chain and dozens of peaks over 5,000 meters, and peaks over 6,000 meters, such as Zaraya Vostoka, which marks the border with Kyrgyzstan, China and the Tajikistan, and culminates at 6349. But in front of you, you find the reason why the river is called Kyzyl-Suu or "red water", the peak Korumdu culminating at 6614 meters of altitude lets flow from its massif of red waters.
