364 Goldmine road

02/09/16 15:36 Filed in: Kirgisistan
M364 Goldmine road. This is a road into the backlands of Issyk Kul and parts of the Tien Shan mountains. The Kumtor goldmine is the second highest goldmine and one of the largest. The gold is located in the permafrost layer below a large glacier and has environmental impacts.........

However the views around and alongside the road are breathtaking spectacular. And so far I've crossed the highest pass - 4028m

And I've stayed there not alone!!IMG_4500IMG_4502L8724454L8724466L8724478L8724482L8724503L8724509L8724511IMG_4522L8724527L8724544
