The magnificent Jeti Oguz valley ends with a wall of majestic mountains of Terskey Ala-Too ridge laying on the southern shore of famous Issyk Kul lake. The highest point of this mountain wall is Oguz Bashy peak that makes 5, 168 m high.
This is the third highest peak in the Terskey Ala Too mountain range, following after the peaks of Karakol (5, 281 m) and Jigit (5, 170 m). The name Oguz Bashy means “the head of a bull,” due to the peak acquired its name because it has two peaks resembling the horns of this mountain animal. There is a justified reason to call Oguz Bashy peak as one of the most beautiful peaks of Issyk Kul. The famous traveler and geographer P.P. Semenov-Tien Shanskiy compared it with the alpine mountain Jungfrau.
If you have a tour to Jeti Oguz gorge, spend one more day to visit the foothills and view this beautiful peak. To make your actions more flexible, use car rent services and enjoy your journey!
