Journey notes

About this Journey

Departure to the Tach Rabat caravanserai built in the 10th century, at an altitude of 3,200 m. The caravanserai served as an inn, fortress, and marketplace for caravans passing through this hostile region during the Silk Road era. It is also there that the shepherds we met the day before in the village take their flocks for the summer. The yaks will pass the Tach Rabat pass at 4100m, and will stay all summer around Lake Chatyr Kul.
Visit of the caravanserai, participation in the daily life of the nomads, with the milking of cows and mares, the preparation of crème Fraiche, cheese, and kumis (a drink made from fermented mare's milk).
Dinner and overnight in the yurts.
