Mountains. The Central Tien Shan is the highest and most majestic part of the Tien Shan mountain system, which extends for about 500 km from west to east and for 300 km from north to south. In the part of the Tien Shan, there are such mountain ranges as the Terskei-Ala-Too, the Sarah-Dzhaz, the Kui-Liu, the Tengri-Tag, the Enilchek, the Kakshaal-Too and the Meridional Range with the highest peaks that include Lenin (7,134 m), Victory (7,439 m) and Khan-Tengri (7,010 m). In the north, the Boro Horo Range connects the Tien Shan system with the Jungar Alatau Range.

The Western Tien Shan mountain system lies at the edge of the Tien Shan mountain country. There are much fewer high plateaux here (the Palathon, the Angren, the Ugam and the Karzhantau - all of them are in the west of the region). The highest points of the western Tien Shan are Chatkal Peak (4,503 m) in the Chatkal Range, Mount Manas (4,482 m) in the Talas Alatau and Mount Baubash-Ata (4,427 m) in the western part of the Fergana mountain range.
