Suusamyr is a valley 150 km long and lies between the three major ridges of the northern Tien Shan: Kyrgyz, Suusamyr-Too and Jumgal-Too.
The average height of the valley is 2300 meters, and therefore even in the summer, it is cool there. In the valley there are two large rivers: Suusamyr and Zapadniy Karakol. The two rivers merge into one and form the high-water Kekemeren River . The valley is remarkable for its stunning scenery: the emerald-green grass is adjacent to the rugged rivers and majestic views of the mountains. In winter, there is a mountain-ski base and numerous kumis treatment places in summer. The valley is also popular for paragliding, since there are practically no trees.
In addition to natural attractions, there are some cultural attractions. One of these is Kojomkul Mazaar – which is the grave of a famous Kyrgyz hero, who participated in the construction. On the walls of the Mazar, one can still see the preserved imprints of his huge hands. The Mazar is situated in the village of Kojomku, and there is also a local museum where it is possible to learn about the history of the Suusamyr Valley.
A lot of routes for all types of tourism pass through Suusamyr and include hiking, trekking, bicycle, automobile, motorcycle, etc.
