This is where the caretaker of Tash Rabat lives. For a small fee, he will unlock the fortress and allow you to explore it.

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.
