The Terskej-Alatau ( Kyrgyz Тескей Ала-Тоо ; Russian Терскей-Алатау ) is a high mountain range in Kyrgyzstan ( Central Asia ) up to 5216 m .
The Terskej-Alatau, which is a partial mountain range of the Tianshan , is located in the east of Kyrgyzstan south of the large lake Issykköl . In the east and southeast it merges into the Kokschaal Tau Mountains ( 7439.3 m ), which contain the highest peaks of the Tianshan. To the south, the mountain landscape merges almost seamlessly over high mountain valleys into the Kuiljutau Mountains ( 5281 m ). To the south and south-west the mountains descend to the Naryn valley . Further high mountains in Kyrgyzstan connect to the west. The Terskej-Alatau extends over a length of 375 km.
The Kyrgyzstan Trail runs through Terskej-Alatau , a long-distance hiking trail redesigned in 2007 that opens up and connects the mountain ranges of the Issyk-Kul region in Kyrgyzstan.
