Place: Koshoy Korgon, Kara-Suu, Kyrgyzstan
Katy explores Koshoy Korgon
My friends and I were a little hesitant to walk over the remains of a 10th century fortress; however as the entire site was littered with sheep and cow tracks and scat, we decided that our footprints wouldn't do any more harm...
Description
The ruined citadel of Koshoy Korgon, is located just outside of the village of Kara-Suu. Not much is known about this fortress (at least according to my guidebooks, anyway) but it dates from roughly the 10th century, and was probably Karakhanid. All that remains of this once grand citadel are crumbling earth walls, which are both desolate and majestic.
