New Snow Leopard Monument at Too-Ashuu Pass Set to Become Kyrgyzstan’s Cultural Beacon

A new iconic landmark has been unveiled at the Too-Ashuu mountain pass with the installation of Kyrgyzstan’s first monumental snow leopard sculpture.

The impressive statue commands attention during the day with its majestic presence, and at night, it transforms as it is beautifully illuminated, captivating all who see it, The Caspian Post informs via Kyrgyz media.

In 2025, the snow leopard was officially adopted as a national symbol of the Kyrgyz Republic, embodying the strength, freedom, and resilient spirit of the Kyrgyz people.

The creators of the project hope that this stunning monument will become a significant cultural symbol and a major attraction for tourists, further highlighting Kyrgyzstan’s rich natural heritage.
