Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Naryn

    It is the capital of the province and the last real town of any size before the high pastures, a low, grey Soviet-era place of apartment blocks and a few older buildings, with brown hills rising on both sides and snowy peaks beyond. Winters are bitterly cold, sometimes thirty below, while summers are dry and bright.

    Naryn sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Tash Rabat.

  2. 2. Tash Rabat

    Tash Rabat is a stone building in the middle of nowhere, which is exactly why it still stands. A caravanserai, one of the inns that sheltered Silk Road traders, it sits in a high, narrow valley south of Naryn at around 3,200 metres, tucked against a hillside and built from dark local stone with domed rooms around a central hall. The main structure is usually dated to the fifteenth century, though some researchers think the site is older and may have begun as a monastery, possibly Nestorian Christian, centuries earlier. Nobody knows for sure, which suits the atmosphere.
