The Tengritoo (also Tengri-Tau ) is a mountain range of the central Tienschan in the extreme east of Kyrgyzstan and in the extreme southeast of Kazakhstan on the border with the People's Republic of China .

The mountain range separates the valleys of the northern and southern Engiltschek glaciers . It begins in the west about 15 km above the lower end of the southern Engiltschek glacier and extends over a length of 30 km in a west-east direction. It culminates in the Khan Tengri ( 7010  m or 6995  m ), which forms the triangle between Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and China. The mountain range lies west of the Khan Tengri in Kyrgyzstan, while east of the Khan Tengri the border between Kazakhstan and China runs along the main ridge. The eastern end point of Tengritoo is a 5620  m high mountain saddle between Pik Gutman and the western Schater . The latter is assigned to the meridional chain .
