Itinerary description

Route 7 of the book EXPLORE KYRGYZSTAN. A long and dusty, windswept route will take you to the high Arabel Valley in the heart of the Celestial Mountains. Once you reach 3,800m you will discover a mineral universe, occasionally covered by tundra and sometimes dotted with inviting lakes and glaciers. The section of the trail that leads to the gold mine is very easy. On the other hand, the rest of the route is in less good condition and can be precarious in the event of snowfall.
"EXPLORE KYRGYZSTAN - 24 of the best off-road routes" travel book is available in English and French !
