Sary-Tash
High in the Alai Valley of Kyrgyzstan's Osh region, Sary-Tash sits at elevation on the Osh–Khorog highway, making it a natural staging point for travellers crossing into Tajikistan or heading toward the Pamir mountains. The surrounding terrain is dramatic, the climate harsh and persistently windy, and the village's position near the Taldyk Pass gives it a raw, high-altitude character that draws those travelling the Pamir Highway route.
