The territory of Kyrgyz-Ata has many tourist attractions. Most of the reserve is a botanical reserve, created to preserve the juniper forests, mountain tulips and saffron, which grows on the territory. Mountains of the Alay Range refer to the mountain system of the Pamirs and are composed of multi-colored marble. Kyrgyz-Ata includes several gorges, including the Karagoy, Kaldai and Mazar tracts.
