The most famous peaks in Karavshin Gorge are Slesova Peak (4240 m) Asan-Usan Peak (4230 m), 4810 m Peak, Pyramidalny Peak (5509 m), Yellow Wall.

In Lyalyak (Ak Suu) Gorge there are such well known peaks as Aksu Peak (5355 m) is a grand rocky peak, one of the former USSR main “super walls”, Admiralteets Peak (5090 m), Iskander Peak (5120 m), Block Peak (5239 m), Sabah Peak (5300 m).

Technically, Aksu peak is the most difficult of them. More than five routes of the highest category of difficulty – 6B (Big Wall) are going through the 1.5 kilometer North Wall of Aksu.  Here was the place where USSR strongest mountaineers gathered for various championships, and the best athletes from all over the world still come here to test their strength.

However, not only climbers and alpinists know the area, but also fans of trekking along beautiful and easy paths around rocky giants. Lyailyak and Karavshin gorges are very picturesque; the local landscapes resemble South American Patagonia, though the climate in Asia is warmer and more comfortable for long hikes.
