Silk Roads Sites in Kyrgyzstan (On tentative list)

Silk Roads Sites in Kyrgyzstan by Els Slots

Using the map on this site and the nomination file and having a rented 4WD for our trip on the southern side of Issyk Kul, we went to see Khan Dobo, Tosor and Barskoon. Well it didn’t work out well. For Khan Dobo there is a 6 km paved road out of the highway but after that the last km it’s unpaved and almost inaccesible. There is nothing marked till the end of the road in open field. At some point on the shore of a little lake we could spot some pitiful ruins, only because we were able to climb on a little mound nearby. No markings of any kind. We couldn’t find anything in Tosor except an old cemetery with no marking of anything. We didn’t have time to make it to Barskoon, the whole road to Karakol has been under construction for three years and the trip takes a very long time.
