Tash Rabat at a distance

This was our first glimpse of Tash Rabat, nestled in the high mountain valley.

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.
