From China to Kyrgyzstan

Crossing the Border

Near Irkeshtam Border Point
Irkeshtam is a remote place and the border point between China and Kyrgyzstan. It is not allowed to take fotos at the border - of course! So this is only a small page to give an impression about the formalities and remoteness of this place.

I crossed the border being on a group tour in June 2007, so I cannot say anything about public transportation. There might be truck drivers, who take you with you. Or you can hire a taxi to the border.

Next Stop on my Trip in June 2007:

Sary Tash

Small village with spectacular views. Enjoy!

 I agree, your border crossing story is most interesting. It never pays to make the soldiers at a border crossing unhappy, does it?

 I hope you admired beautiful mountain landscapes while crossing the border... Excellent off the beaten path page, Ulrike!
