A few photo's from Kyrgyzstan

Post by vinyl_theif »

I've been wanting to post these photo's for a while but as Google accounts (where I store my photo's) was not accessible in China I've had to wait. Kyrgyzstan was an amazing country with awesome scenery, It was a bit too late (for myself) to ride the Pamir Highway though but nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed the route I took.

My highest pass (to that date)

A happy customer.

An awesome view.

Nearing the town of Sary Tash (check the mountains in the back-ground)

Stunning! Looks a great place to tour unless you need a pee behind a tree! Roads look in good condition.

Awesome. Ps I thought the mountains didn't look that impressive- until I realised the the clouds were the mountains!

Great pictures.
I hope to do the Pamir Highway next summer.
Any tips?
Any blog I can read on your trip?
Thanks

Hi Matt and a merry chrimbo.

I backed out from riding the Pamir due to time of year, my next blog-post explains all - it’s at http://www.wallisonwheels.net. I’ll certainly return there for a 2-3 week trip in 2016 but with suspension forks fitted on my bike.

(I’m presently in Vientian, Laos capital. Due to visa time constraint through China I’m now a country behind my normal writing so presently drafting the post about Kyrgyzstan, should be ready in a day or two – enjoy.

I called it Scary Trash, It’s hardly the place for a pub-crawl or honey moon as there’s little there, just a ram-shackle of homes and tin sheds! but the surrounding scenery is obviously awesome, I waited a day there for the Chinese borders to re-open as they’d been closed for 9 days so was rather lucky timing for me.
