Trans-Alay Range, Mountain range between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan

The Trans-Alay Range extends 350 kilometers along the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, featuring multiple peaks above 6,000 meters in elevation.

The mountain range formed through tectonic movements during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods, creating sedimentary formations of limestone and schist.

Local communities in valleys surrounding the Trans-Alay Range maintain traditional pastoral practices, moving livestock between seasonal grazing grounds.

The Pamir Highway crosses the range through the Kyzyl-Art Pass at 4,280 meters, connecting the cities of Osh in Kyrgyzstan and Khorog in Tajikistan.

The Ibn Sina Peak, reaching 7,134 meters, stands as the highest point of the range and attracts mountaineers from numerous countries.

Elevation above the sea: 7,134 m
