This site describes the Central Tian Shan mountains, which border China to the east and Kazakhstan to the north. The area is generally safe for tourism, though the border with Tajikistan to the south is known to be dangerous. The journal entry from August 29th highlights an incredible flight from a pass 4,750 feet above the main valley, with lift everywhere and surrounded by classic alpine peaks, each with its own glacier and steep ice face. This flight was described as the most spectacular ever experienced, flying above peaks and glaciers in a landscape reminiscent of a fantasy world. Despite some challenges, such as waiting for a truck to be pulled out of a rockslide and launching in a snowstorm with no lift, the area remains a top destination for adventurous paragliding.
