Desolate beauty. Between the Kyrgyz Alatau in the north and the Suusamyr Too in the south lies the somewhat desolate Suusamyr Valley. From the Ala-Bel Pass, where the Suusamyr River originates, it flows eastwards through a wide valley covered by a green carpet of grass that is ideal as an alpine summer pasture. In summer the valley is dotted with the gers of the shepherds who graze their flocks here. At the fork to Talas, where the statue of Manas stands, is the only very tiny, but permanent settlement in the valley. At the eastern end the valley narrows, after which the Suusamyr River flows into a triangular valley. A good location to get acquainted with the herding life of the Kyrgyz.
