The dome of Tash Rabat

The dome of Tash Rabat

Although much of the dome is not original (Tash Rabat underwent reconstruction/renovation under the Soviet regime), it still provides an inspiring view against the backdrop of the mountains.

About this place:

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.
