From the Kyzylart Pass to Sary-Mogol - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
At the top of the Kyzylart Pass at 4280 m above sea level, we leave Tajikistan and enter Kyrgyzstan. We have already left the border control behind us. We are on the way from Kara Kul, a lake in eastern Tajikistan to Osh in Kyrgyzstan. But before that, we want to explore the Base Camp at Mount Lenin. So we have planned an overnight stay in Sary-Mogol.
The road from Kara Kul to the Kyzylart Pass runs through a high valley and rises relatively flat. But in the north, the road winds all the more steeply to the valley. Only when the road turns into the valley of the Atjaylo it becomes better and rather flat. Until then it is a piste of stones and clay.
There are no bridges, so the driver has to drive through the small creeks. Here, the Pamir Highway is less frequented, as most trucks go directly from China via the Kulma Pass to Murghob and continue from there to Chorugh.
We cross the Trans-Alay Range with its mighty mountains, over 7000 m high. The more the valley widens, the better we see the Trans-Alay Range, and the mightier the mountains appear.
The meadows are becoming increasingly dark green. You see scattered yurts and in between many horses and goat herds. Children have stretched a string across the street and demand toll to pass. Our driver gives them some dried apricots, whereupon they happily open the road.
From a distance, we see two spherical buildings near Sary-Tash. It is a well-known monitoring and listening post of the Soviets. At that time, the fear towards the Chinese was big. Today it serves as a training center.
Sary-Tash lies at a crossroads between the Pamir Highway from Morghab to Osh and the West-East connection from Dushanbe to China through the Alay Valley with the Kyzyl-Suu River. This river, with its rust-brown color, meanders through the wide valley.
The village offers some overnight accommodations, small restaurants, and a gas station. A garrison of Tajik border guards in Sary-Tash has the task to stem the drug traffic.
We continue towards the west and reach Sary-Mogol after about 35 km. The place is famous for its coal mines, which supply the region with fuel. On the way to Osh, we will later see many trucks transporting the coal.

Am Scheitelpunkt des Kyzyl-Art-Passes auf 4280 m Seehöhe verlassen wir Tadschikistan und betreten Kirgisistan. Die Grenzkontrolle haben wir bereits hinter uns gelassen. Wir sind auf dem Weg vom Kara Kul, einem See im Osten Tajikistans nach Osh in Kyrgyzstan. Vorher wollen wir aber noch das Basislager des Pik Lenin erkunden. Dazu haben wir eine Übernachtung in Sary-Mogol eingeplant.
Die Strasse vom Kara Kul zum Kyzyl-Art-Pass verläuft durch ein Hochtal und steigt relativ flach an. Dafür führt sie im Norden umso steiler in Serpentinen ins Tal. Erst als die Strasse das Tal des Atjaylo einbiegt wird sie besser und ziemlich flach. Bis dahin ist sie eine Piste aus Steinen und Lehm.
Brücken gibt es keine, also muss der Fahrer durch die kleinen Bäche und Rinnsale fahren. Der Pamir Highway ist hier nur wenig befahren, da die meisten LKWs direkt von China über den Kulma-Pass nach Murghob und von dort weiter nach Chorugh fahren.
Wir durchfahren das Transalaigebirge mit seinen mächtigen über 7000 m hohen Bergen. Je mehr sich das Tal weitet, desto besser ist das Transalaigebirge zu sehen und desto mächtiger erscheinen die Berge.
Die Wiesen nehmen immer stärker ein dunkles Grün an. Verstreut sind Jurten zu sehen. Dazwischen viele Pferde- und Ziegenherde. Kinder haben eine Schnur über die Straße gespannt und verlangen von Durchreisenden Wegezoll. Unser Fahrer gibt ihnen einige getrocknete Aprikosen, worauf sie uns überglücklich die Strasse wieder frei geben.
Schon von weitem sehen wir zwei kugelförmige Gebäude in der Nähe von Sarytasch. Es ist eine bekannte Überwachungs- und Abhöranlage der Sowjets. In jener Zeit waren die Befürchtungen gegenüber den Chinesen groß. Heute dient sie als Ausbildungszentrum.
Sarytasch liegt an einem Kreuzungspunkt zwischen dem Pamir Highway von Morghab nach Osch und der West-Ost-Verbindung von Duschanbe nach China durch das Alaital mit dem Kysylsuu. Dieser Fluß windet sich mit seiner rostbraunen Farbe mäanderförmig durch das breite Tal.
Im Dorf gibt es einige Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten, kleine Restaurants und eine Tankstelle. Außerdem ist eine Garnision tadschikischer Grenzschützer hier stationiert, die den Drogenhandel eingrenzen sollen.
Wir fahren weiter in Richtung Westen und erreichen nach ungefähr 35 km Sary-Mogul. Der Ort ist bekannt für sein Kohlebergwerk, das die Region mit Heizmaterial versorgt. Auf dem Weg nach Osh werden wir später viele Lkws sehen, die die Kohle transportieren.

Kyrgyzstan - Sary Mogol - Tulpar Kol Lake to Bouke Hike & Shepherd's House
Our 3 day hike continues as we travel from Tulpar Kol (Flying Horse Lake) to Bouke in Southern Kyrgyzstan near Sary-Mogol. Starting from the CBT Sary-Mogol Yurt Camp at Tulpar-Kol Lake, we hiked roughly 5 hours to reach the shepherd's house where we would be staying overnight. Fantastic host in the most traditional shepherd's house imaginable, with stunning Alay mountains, sheep, yaks and the bright night stars surrounding us. Very basic amenities (no running water, mud house, outhouses), but the most authentic way to experience the rural Kyrgyz lifestyle and traditional Kyrgyz dining. After an evening witnessing life in the countryside, the next day we hiked to Bouke where a beautiful waterfall awaited us, amongst towering mountains. Fantastic adventure with the help of CBT Sary-Mogol.
Information about Tulpar Kol to Bouke Hike:
Hike difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate
Duration: 2 day hike, approximately 5 hours from Tulpar-Kol Yurt Camp to Bouke (depending on your hiking speed).

Kyrgyzstan - Sary Mogol - Thursday Animal Market
First day in Sary-Mogol, the beautiful Alay Region of Southern Kyrgyzstan. We arrived for the weekly Thursday morning animal market in the center of Sary-Mogol village. Exciting times as the entire village comes to life with merchants from across the region coming to sell their goods. Who knew that there would be Ecuadorian bananas available in this part of the world! Great chance to see the local Kyrgyz lifestyle, meet some friendly locals, and practice saying a few words in Kyrgyz! Also wonderful chance to experience the authentic rural Kyrgyz culture and lifestyle as you watch locals buy and sell their animals, exchange handshakes, and ride in on horses and donkeys. Great start to our adventures with the help of CBT Sary-Mogol.

Kyrgyzstan - Sary Mogol - Besh Kol (5 Lakes) Hike

Hitchhiking scenes in Sary-Tash and Sary-Mogol, Kyrgyzstan
25 July 2016 - I met an Austrian and two Israelis in the village of Sary-Tash in southern Kyrgyzstan. The village is at a crossroads for people going north to Osh, east into China, and south into Tajikistan. My new friends had no luck in hitchhiking and we figured it would be better to arrange private transport the next day into Tajikistan, and so we went to the nearby town of Sary-Mogol to do that and watch a bit of a horse games festival.
The video captures a few scenes aboard pick up trucks with amazing scenery all around. Apologies for the shakiness of the video, and for the blurriness in the latter part - it was certainly a challenge to film this, but I'm glad I have this to remember the raw excitement of that day! #SummerWithTheStans was always one adventure after another!

Joldoshbaev sometimes sang Kyrgyz songs as we inched across the pasturelands. What kind of songs? “Love songs,” he said. They involved boys and girls, of course. But also horses.

From Sary Mogol to Osh - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
Our destination today is Osh. Osh is the second-largest city in Kyrgyzstan. Bright sunshine also accompanies us on this day too.
From Sary-Mogol we drive to Sarytash. From here the road winds the Alay Mountains southwards up the mountain to the Taldyk Pass. The pass is at an altitude of 3615 m. At the top, we have a phenomenal view of the serpentines which lead us back into the valley.
Our driver, who is actually a Chinese teacher, meets his brother-in-law by chance. He is on his way to Murghab, where he works as a doctor. The two have not seen themselves for three months.
Down in the valley, some yurts are along the road. Afterward, we pass small villages. As we pass a small forest we realize that we have not seen a tree for almost 10 days.
The rocky formations which the water of the Kurshab river has washed into the mountain slopes take partly bizarre forms. Nature illustrates here which strengths the water can develop, even if we hardly see any water around this season. The rocks appear in most different color shadings up to a dark red.
In Gulcha, a mountain town with nearly 12000 inhabitants, our driver stops for refueling. We use the time to explore the nearer surroundings. A monument with a horseman, accompanied by two tigers, adorns the traffic island at a larger crossroad.
Across the street, the noise of children and a street art painting attracts us. As I get closer I see that it is a well from where the children have to bring water. We drive through the town and pass an adventurous pedestrian bridge across the river.
At the end of the town, we turn westwards. The road winds again from 1550 m above sea level to an altitude of 2400 m. It is the Chirchik Pass. As we get around the last corner before the pass, about 10 horses and cows stand in the middle of the road.
We watch them for a while, surprised that these animals do not move an inch from the spot, even if a truck passes in a distance of about two meters.
A modern monument towers above the Chirchik Pass. From here we have a remarkable view of the valleys. In the direction of Osh, some yurts and huts are scattered over the slopes. Again, we are watching children working. A boy collects the excrement of the grazing animals as a fuel for heating and a little girl is on the move with canisters to get water.

Unser Tagesziel lautet für heute Osch. Osch ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Kirgisistans. Strahlender Sonnenschein begleitet uns auch an diesem Tag wieder.
Von Sary Mogol fahren wir nach Sarytash. Von hier aus windet sich die Straße das Alaigebirge in Richtung Süden den Berg hinauf zum Taldyk Pass. Der Pass verläuft in einer Höhe von 3615 m. Oben angekommen haben wir einen phänomenalen Blick auf die Serpentinen, die uns wieder ins Tal leiten.
Unser Fahrer, der eigentlich Chinesischlehrer ist, trifft noch seinen Schwager, der auf dem Weg nach Murgab ist, wo er als Arzt arbeitet. Die beiden haben sich seit drei Monaten nicht gesehen.
Unten im Tal angekommen haben sich einige Jurten entlang der Straße angesiedelt. Später passieren wir kleine Ortschaften. Als wir an einem kleinen Wald vorbeikommen wird uns bewusst, dass wir seit fast 10 Tagen keinen Baum mehr gesehen haben.
Die felsigen Formationen, die das Wasser des Flusses Kurshab in die Berghänge gespült hat, nehmen teilweise bizarre Formen an. Die Natur verdeutlicht hier, welche Kräfte das Wasser entwickeln kann, obgleich wir um diese Jahreszeit kaum eines zu Gesicht bekommen. Auch das Gestein nimmt unterschiedlichste Farbschattierungen, bis hin zu dunklem Rot, an.
In Gültschö (Gulcha) einer Ortschaft mit fast 12000 Einwohnern legen wir einen Tankstopp ein. Wir nutzen die Zeit die nähere Umgebung zu erkunden. Die Verkehrsinsel an einer größeren Kreuzung schmückt ein Denkmal mit einem Reiter, der von zwei Tigern begleitet wird.
Gegenüber zieht mich der Lärm von Kindern und ein Street Art-Gemälde an. Als ich näher komme sehe ich, dass es sich um einen Brunnen handelt, von dem Kinder Wasser holen müssen. Als wir weiter durch den Ort fahren, passieren wir eine abenteuerliche Fußgängerbrücke über den Fluss.
Am Ortsende biegen wir ab in Richtung Westen. Die Straße schlängelt sich nun wieder von 1550 m über dem Meer auf 2400 m Höhe. Es ist der Tschyjyrtschyk Pass (Chyrchyk pass). Als wir um die letzte Kurve vor der Passhöhe kommen, stehen plötzlich ca. 10 Pferde und Kühe mitten auf der Straße.
Wir beobachten sie dann eine Weile und sind total überrascht, dass diese Tiere sich keinen Zentimeter von der Stelle bewegen, selbst wenn ein LKW in 2 m Entfernung an ihnen vorbeirauscht.
