Manas Ordo

The stone mausoleum features traditional Karakhanid architecture with kufic script decorations along its exterior walls and stands near the Talas River confluence.

Built in 1334, this structure houses what experts believe to be the remains of Manas, a legendary Kyrgyz warrior, based on archaeological findings of a tall male skeleton.

The complex includes a museum displaying artifacts, dioramas depicting the Epic of Manas, and hosts traditional Kyrgyz horsemanship games during summer months.

Located 12 kilometers east of Talas town, the site offers parking facilities, souvenir shops, refreshment areas, and regular transportation services from the city center.

The mausoleum bears an inscription referencing a woman named Kenizek-Khatun, strategically placed to protect the burial site from potential grave desecration by enemies.
