Mountain summit
Elektro Peak
Elevation above sea level: 4,079 m
The 2021 Moscow State University hiking report explicitly assigns 4079 m to Elektro summit; this is not the trip maximum. A local operator also publishes 4079 m. Other checked source values: 4095 m (A first-person 2015 climbing article gives 4095 m; the reason for the difference is unresolved.)
Elektro is a summit associated with the upper Adygene valley in the Ala-Archa mountain area south of Bishkek.

It belongs to the rocky high ground above the valley rather than to the lower park walks. Its setting is best understood through the contrast between the accessible valley floor and the mountain terrain that encloses the headwaters.
A first-person mountain report describes an ascent from the Adygene camp area over scree and rock. That account places Elektro within a landscape of camps, ridges and upper slopes; it does not make the peak interchangeable with Adygene Lake or Adygene Peak. For a visitor, the distinctive interest is the elevated rocky setting and the changing view back into the valley.
Named summit reference from the cited map or primary report, not a trailhead.

Getting there

When to visit
The lower valley, lake basin and summit have different snow and weather conditions; check the intended objective separately.
Good to know
Confirm local access, opening arrangements and any entry rules before travel. Respect protected sites and local communities; leave the place as you found it.
