Journey notes
About this Journey
In the morning, we leave Kazarman and head east, crossing the Makmal Valley, known for its former gold mines. We gradually ascend to the Akkya Pass (2,932 m), then descend into the remote village of Kosh-Doeboe, one of the most isolated in the country. We continue through the Alabuga Valley, enjoying wild and untouched nature.
Next, we reach the village of Baetova, set among desert-like landscapes surrounded by red rock formations. We stop for lunch at a local restaurant before beginning the climb to the MELS Pass (3,383 m). From the top, the contrast of landscapes is breathtaking, with green pastures, graphite cliffs, and red rocks creating an unforgettable view. We then descend to the small hamlet of Orto Cyrt before ascending to the Kulakashuu Pass (3,399 m), offering stunning views of the vast pastures where Kyrgyz nomads spend the summer with their livestock in yurts.
In the afternoon, we continue our descent to the main road connecting Bishkek and Kashgar, before reaching the Tash-Rabat Valley. In the evening, we arrive at the famous caravanserai, a historical monument of the Silk Road. We settle in for the night in a yurt.
Dinner and overnight stay at Tash-Rabat.
