To the west on A363 is [[Anan'yevo]] and to the south [[Karakol]]. To the east, A362 leads up the Karkara valley to [[Kazakhstan]].

The ''Karkara ('black crane') Valley'' leads east from here about 60&nbsp;km to Kazakhstan between the [[Kyungey Ala-Too]] to the north and the Central [[Tian Shan]] to the south. There is an annual horse festival. Halfway up the valley is the village of [[San-Tash]] (counting stones). It is said that [[Timur|Tamerlane]] once ordered each of his soldiers to place a stone in a pile as they passed. When they returned, each soldier was to remove a stone, the number of remaining stones being the number of soldiers that has died. There is a small hollow in the top of the pile, representing the comparatively very small number of people who returned. There are no other stones in the region for miles around.
