Pics of Kyrgyzstan
We stayed at Sary Tash on our first night in Kyrgyzstan. It looks pretty bleak and it is, but even though it only has a population of around 1,500 it is a major crossroads in the Alay Valley. The village is an important road junction connecting China to the East over the Irkestam Pass [9,859 feet], the way we had come; Tajikistan to the South over the Kyzylart Pass [14,042 feet] on the Pamir Highway and to the North over the Taldyk Pass [11,860 feet] to Osh and the Fergana Valley.
