The Best of Alay Mountains Trek is one of our most popular trekking tours, and for good reason. We rate the Best of Alay Mountains Trek as Medium-Difficult because it is quite challenging in some parts, especially the rocky and scree-covered trails before and after Sary Mogol (4,306 m) and Jiptick Pass (4,185 m). In addition, the trek goes to some high altitudes with three mountains passes over 4,100 meters, which can also be difficult if you don’t have prior experience hiking or trekking at altitude. Taking time to acclimatize before and during the trek is very important to avoid altitude sickness.

Therefore, we recommend that you are reasonably fit with some trekking experience to undertake the entire trek without any issues. Even if without a lot of trekking experience, we let anyone join the Best of Alay Mountains Trek and help them do the difficult parts on horses as our tours always include luggage horses that can be used in this purpose.
