Tian Shan Trek: Trek in the Chinese Tian Shan with horses and experience Kazak culture Tian
Shan Treks
Below is a sample 5-day trek in the Tian
Shan Mountains east of Urumqi. A traverse of the Tian Shan to the east
of Urumqi, the autonomous region capital, may be completed in 5-6 days.
In the western Tian Shan within China the range widens providing more
options for shorter or longer treks. Typically, the north slope of the
Tian Shan is forested and the southern slope, being drier, is not.
Kazaks live in the Tian Shan and in the summer they move into the
mountains to summer pastures with their sheep, goats, horses, yaks and
camels.
