Description
Kholodnye Perya — “Cold Feathers” (3,970 m) — gets its name from the thin rock pinnacles on its ridge that resemble frozen plumes. The peak sits on the main Tuyuk-Su ridge and offers technical climbing on distinctive, sharp rock formations.
This is a peak for climbers who’ve progressed beyond the standard 1B routes and want something visually and technically memorable. The “feathers” themselves — narrow rock blades protruding from the ridge — create an aesthetic climbing challenge that’s unique in the Tuyuk-Su area. The route requires rope work, comfort with exposure, and confident movement on steep, narrow rock.

Traveler Stories
James & Lisa
Did the 2-day Altyn-Emel trip. The Singing Dune at sunset was magical. Our guide handled everything - permits, accommodation, meals. We just showed up and enjoyed. Already planning our next trip with Zabugorshiki.

Solo traveler here. I was nervous about hiking alone in a foreign country but the guide made me feel completely safe. The trail to Kok-Zhailau was beautiful and the photos he took of me were amazing. Only wish the hike was longer!
Sebastien V.
I had a great experience, communication was very clear from the beginning to the day my guide Eldar picked me up at the hotel. I did the Big Almaty Circuit with Satpayev peak. My guide was great, and took care of everything. He knows the mountains very well and speaks English. They provided a very good quality tent, mat and sleeping bag! Thanks to the whole team!

So happy I made it to the summit! I loved the trip — I had the best days. Thank you so much.

We went on the 2-day Altyn-Emel tour and it was truly memorable. Our tour guide, Denis, is knowledgeable about the terrain and took us to the best spots, maximizing our time and overall experience. The logistics were also planned and executed perfectly.
