This pass leads from the Chong Kyzyl Suu valley to the Kichi Kyzyl Suu valley. It is the only pass that can be made on horseback or on foot, south of the Jeli Suu peak. 

There is no particular difficulty. It is possible to set up a camp at the foot of the pass, either in the Kichi Kyzyl Suu valley or in the Karatakkya valley. 

From the geo-physical station it is a long day's walk to the Kichi Kyzyl Suu valley. The panorama is incredible, you can see all the high peaks of the Terskey Alatoo.
