An ancient caravanserai on the Silk Road, close to Torugart Pass to China. One of the top destinations of Kyrgyzstan but a little remote.
As of 2018 both local taxi drivers and CBT quote a price of 2,000 soms for a return trip, including the driver waiting. The drive to Tash Rabat takes 2 hr. It's also possible to sleep there at a handful of yurt camps in the summer season, which is highly recommended if you plan on going hiking the following day. The 2018 price list by CBT charges the following: B&B 600 som per person per night, horse rental 800 som per horse per day, a guide 1,600 som per day, lunch or dinner 400 som per meal. It might be possible to negotiate a lower price with locals when not booking through CBT.

A 5982 m high mountain peak which allows furthest view on the Earth. At 483 km, Kunlun Mountains are visible and at 538 km a mountain peak Hindu Tagh.
Prehistoric rock art from 3000 BC to 2000 BC at the top of a mountain by Neolithic and Bronze Age peoples. This would really probably take a guide to see.
