Tash-Rabat

"A visit to Tash Rabat feels like stepping back into the days of the Silk Road. Located near the town of At-Bashi, this ancient caravanserai was once a vital stop for merchants traveling across Central Asia. We made the journey from Naryn, and while the road to Tash Rabat is a bit rugged, the views of the surrounding mountains and wide-open landscapes made it totally worth the effort. We even spotted horses, eagles, and yaks along the way! The caravanserai itself is a striking sight, built from large stone blocks and designed to shelter travellers and their animals. As you explore the site, you can feel the history of those who passed through here centuries ago. The small museum nearby offers a glimpse into the past and provides more context about the role Tash Rabat played on the Silk Road. Though we didn't do this ourselves you can stay in a nearby yurt run by a local family. It's best to arrange this prior to your trip there as spots can fill up quickly during the busy season. Getting to Tash Rabat is a bit of an adventure in itself, but if you’re looking for a peaceful, historical getaway surrounded by stunning nature, this is definitely a place to add to your itinerary."

"Had a lot of doubts if I should really go to this place, but it was amazing, definitely worth it. The building itself is huge, and when being there, it really gives you the feeling of being on the Silk Road. The tour was organized by our guest house; a private taxi took me and my two friends there and waited for us while we explored the valley."
