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.

Kanchipuram - India's finest architecture, history and culture come together
The Kanchipuram District is situated on the north-eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, adjacent to the Bay of Bengal.

It is also known as Ekambaranathar Temple.The temple ‘gopuram’ or gateway tower is 59m high, making it one of the tallest gopurams in India.
