Engilchek, Kyrgyzstan

Engilchek (Kyrgyz: Эңилчек, Russian: Энильчек) is a village in Ak-Suu District, southeast Issyk-Kul Region, Kyrgyzstan.

With the closure of the tin mine, the population fell from 5,000 to less than 20 families.

[1] It lies at the head of one of the few good roads into the southeast of the province, and is therefore a base for mountaineers and serious hikers.

The Engilchek Glacier is about 50 km east of the town.
