generations of those, who live in Tashkent province, the Greater Chimgan is the

Once the tsarist
governor-general had a house here at the foothills of the western Tian Shan,
the social elite also built summer cottages, only for the Bolsheviks to
requisition them for sick workers after the revolution. The Russian love of
winter sports and the Soviet addiction to sanatoria guaranteed Chimgan's
growth.

The mountains
here are not quite as extreme or scenic as the higher peaks around Almaty and
Bishkek, but certain activities (heli-skiing, trekking and rafting come to
mind) are more accessible and at least as challenging.

concrete Soviet hulks.
