Sayram-Ugam National Park

Located in the northern section of Western Tian Shan mountains, the park spans 149,037 hectares across three districts, featuring diverse mountain ranges and ecosystems.

The national park was established on January 26, 2006, through the merger of Ugam, Tolebi, and Tyulkubas state institutions for forest and wildlife protection.

The territory contains 1,635 plant species and 300 bird species, including 62 red-listed plants like Greig's tulip and 30 protected birds like golden eagles.

The park offers ten hiking and horseback riding trails totaling 604 kilometers, with access points located 70 kilometers from the city of Shymkent.

At an elevation of 1,700 meters, Lake Susyngen, whose name translates to 'water gone into earth', represents one of the park's notable water features.
