Boom Gorge

The gorge cuts, in a general north–south direction, across one of Tian Shan's mountain range systems.

The range east of the gorge is known as Kyungey Ala-Too (Russian: Кюнгей Ала-Тоо, based on similar Kyrgyz spelling), the one to the west is the Kyrgyz Ala-Too (Russian: Кыргиызский хребет).

[1] The river Chu passes northwards through it and then enters the wider Chüy Valley.

The Bishkek-Tokmak-Kemin-Balykchy highway (A365) passes through the gorge, as does the railway from Bishkek to Balykchy.
