Kashka-Suu-Bashi is a peak on the northern side of the Ala-Archa mountain area, above the foothills of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too.

The geographical interest is the ridge position between the lower approaches and the high mountain interior. From this perspective, the foothill landscape and the deeper valleys belong to different levels of the same range. A trip named for Kashka-Suu-Bashi should therefore be understood through its mountain objective, rather than assumed to be a visit to the ski centre.
