Son-Kul lake on 3000m in Kyrgyzstan
I took a small mountain pass from the north to the Son-Kul lake. It was pretty steep and deep gravel. but somehow I made it to the top on 3256m. the view from there down to the lake was just stunning!
The lake itself is on 3050m.
I’ve met two German couples with Unimogs up there: Heidi & Norbert and Ananda & Marco. We stayed together for some kilometers and the night. Thanks for the beer and dinner! 🙂
It was pretty cold during the night in the tent…
I left the lake over the pass in the south. The Unimogs stayed one more night up there.

Ich habe einen kleinen Pass von Norden her genommen, um zum Son-Kul See raufzufahren. Es war ziemlich steil, hatte tiefen Schotter und starke Auswaschungen auf der Strasse. Aber ich habe es auf den Pass auf 3256m geschafft. Super Ausblick auf den See von da oben! Der See liegt auf 3050m.
Dort oben habe ich zwei Deutsche Paare mit Ihren Unimogs getroffen: Heidi & Norbert und Ananda & Marco.
Sie waren grad damit beschäftigt, sich auf dem Matsch zu befreien.
Wir sind eine Weile zusammen gefahren und haben gemeinsam übernachtet. Danke für das Abendessen und das Bier! 🙂
Am nächsten Tag bin ich über den südlichen Pass wieder runter gefahren. die Unimogs blieben noch für eine weitere Nacht oben.

Week 6 – the movie
In week 6, I’ve been leaving Russia and entering Kazakhstan.
Border crossing Kazakhstan-Kyrgistan (Taraz)
You get a small paper at the entry, fill it out as of the following example. I got help of some locals, as it’s not in English.
Leave your bike on the right side and go into the building on the left with the pedestrians for the passport control.
After you’ve got your stamps (passport and the paper mentioned above), you can go back and get your bike and drive to the customs booth besides the building.
He will check the stamps on the paper and the passport. Now you can go the exit. There they will take the paper and let you out.
On the Kyrgizstan side you also have to leave the bike and go into the building on the left for the passport control. He spoke English this time, so no issues there.
They refused to give me a ‘temporary import’ paper. I still have the one from Russia, so there won’t be a problem to leave.
