Caravanistan

Whatever the issue was for belliope, we and all other travelers (German, Polish, South Korean, Australian passports) we talked to, got our Visa same day.

Hi, has anybody been in the Bartang Valley recently? Any updates on conditions? Thanks!

Hi guys,
We met an Australian cyclist near Charyn Canyon about 3 days ago. He came from Kyrgyzstan via the Karkara valley. So the border is definitely open now.
Happy travels!

Just a quick update:
There was a big avalanche before ьатан. Some bridges were washed away. The road up to Assy plateau and Kajrakskij waterfall is closed.

Hi, do you have any updates on the snow cover on the Assy Plateau at the moment? Is it possible to cycle up Turgen gorge and cross the plateau to Bartogai Reservoir in early May or is there still too much snow? Thanks!

Do you have any updates when the Kegen border will open this year? We'll have to leave Kazakhstan on May 18 and would like to cross the border via the Karkara valley. Thanks for info!
