The '''Talas Ala-Too''' range ({{langx|ky|Талас Ала-Тоосу|Talas Ala-Toosu}}; {{langx|kk|Талас Алатауы|Talas Alatauy}}) is range of the [[Tian Shan]] mountains forming the southern and eastern border of [[Talas Region]] of [[Kyrgyzstan]]. Its western end extends into [[Kazakhstan]], and its south-western end joins the [[Pskem Mountains]] and [[Ugam Range]] of [[Uzbekistan]]. Its eastern end joins the [[Kyrgyz Ala-Too Range|Kyrgyz Ala-Too]] mountains. To the north is the [[Talas River]] valley, and, to the south, [[Jalal-Abad Region]]. The highest point is Mount Manas (4484m) near the Uzbek border. There are four major passes along the range. Ötmök pass (closed in winter) is the road entrance from the east. The main road from [[Bishkek]] to [[Osh]] enters from the east over the Ala-Bel pass, passes through the [[Chychkan State Zoological Reserve]] and then turns south over another pass into Jalal-Abad province. The [[Kara-Buura Pass]] (road) and Terek pass (no major road) lead south into Jalal-Abad provinces.
