Tien-Shan Mountains

Of all the mountains in Central Asia, the Tien-Shan (Celestial Mountains) are perhaps the most magnificent. Their upper reaches are forever swathed in snow and ice and lower down are well endowed with glaciers. Tien-Shan Mountains are considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Central Asia. The region is also rich in alpine lakes. The largest fresh water lake in Central Asia, Issyk-Kul Lake is the world's second highest lake.
