Don't let what appears to be a road in front of the fortress deceive you: we had to walk a solid hour from the point where the dirt/gravel track was impassible by our car in order to reach the caravanserai.

Description

Tash Rabat is a stone fortress/caravanserai dating from either the 13th or 15th century (depending on the source), which was once a prominent stop on the silk road. Tash Rabat is only about 60km from the city of Naryn; however, due to the quality of the roads, the trip takes about two and a half hours.
