At-Bashy (
Kyrgyz: Ат-Башы) is a village in the
Naryn Region of
Kyrgyzstan, about 35km southwest of
Naryn on the main highway to the
Torugart Pass. It is the administrative seat of
At-Bashy District. The At-Bashy Range to the south extends to Lake
Chatyr-Kul. The river
At-Bashy comes in from the east and then runs northwest through a gorge in the
Baybiche-Too range to join the
Naryn near
Dostuk. It is the last considerable settlement before the Chinese border. The highway, built in 1906, runs southwest between the Baybiche-Too and At-Bashy ranges before turning south and then east to reach the pass. Its population was 14,655 in 2021. At-Bashy is also known for the white honey collected from its highlands, based on the
esparcet honey plants.
