The nature of Kyrgyzstan is impressive with the high mountain landscapes that differ in different corners of the country. It allows visitors to enjoy a variety of mountain activities such as hiking as well as rock climbing. A particularly famous destination for these activities is the Karavshan valley, which is also called the Patagonia of Central Asia due to the vertical slopes of the mountains in the area.

Karavshan is located at the Kyrgyz Fergana Valley, in the Batken region which is located between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Karavshin gorge is more precisely situated in the Turkestan mountain range, in the heart of the Pamir-Alai mountain system, nearby the Ak Su (white water) valley. Turkestan mountain range region is particularly attractive and unique in Central Asia.

Aksu valley is surrounded by several high peaks. The well-known peaks of the valley are Asan Peak (4230 m), Usen Peak (4378 m), Pyramidalny Peak (5509 m), Kotova Peak, Yellow Wall Peak, Slesova Peak etc.

Karavshan valley is resembles the South American Patagonia with the same wilderness, where winds blow through the highly surrounded valley, with mountain streams of pure water, alpine meadows, herds of yaks grazing peacefully and several glaciers surrounded by 5000 m+ peaks as well as the  remoteness of the location. There is though one notable advantage of the Kyrgyzstan Patagonia mountains compared to South American ones and that is the comparatively sturdy and warm weather.
