BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

Shar Waterfall is also known as a Shaar waterfall or the Bash-Kaindy waterfall and is located in Bash-Kayunday gorge in the Naryn region of Kyrgyzstan.

The height of the free falling Shar waterfall is 220 m, but taking into account the cascades it is about 400 m making it the highest waterfall in Kyrgyzstan, Central Tian Shan area and in the whole Central Asia. Shaar waterfall sits at the height of 3200 m above sea level in the gorge of the Bash-Kaindy river. Nearest settlements to Shar are Birlik, At-Bashi and Bash-Kaindy together with the Taldy-Suu and Birinchi May villages. A good example of the proportion of Shar waterfall is that you can even see it from as far as the Naryn-Torugart road that runs through the At-Bashi village and is 20 km away.
