Suusamyr Valley

Suusamyr Valley stretches for 150 km from west (from Alabel Pass at an altitude of 3,184 m) to east (up to Karakol Pass at 3,452 m). Its area is 4,300 km² (1,700 sq mi). The section from the confluence of the Ötmök and Suusamyr rivers to the mouth of the Joojyurok valley (or where the Sokuuluk river flows into Western Karakol) is wide and flat, extending for 80–85 km. The widest part — at the point where Töö Ashuu and the highest peak of the Suusamyr Too (4,048 m) face each other (at the head of Üchömchök) — is 45 km wide. The valley gradually narrows and rises in elevation as it moves westward. The valley is located in Chüy Region of Kyrgyzstan.
