There are mountains, steppes, swamps, and forests.
Kyrgyzstan is built on the Taraz Mountains. Many believe that Kyrgyzstan is a kind of second Switzerland, with pristine nature.
Very massive mountain ranges and closed intermountain valleys contributed to the formation of more than 6000 glaciers, which created the so-called "Arctic".
One of the high points is almost the whole Tien Shan mountain system. In the eastern part is located "The Victory Peak." It is about 7.439 meters above sea level. "The Lenin Peak" is present in the southern part. It reached 7.134 meters above sea level.
In Kyrgyzstan, there are over 27,000 rivers and there are more than 2000 lakes and artificial reservoirs.
