Lower part of Sokh valley

In our driver's house in the village of
Sokh. Our very kind drive and host with his children on the
left with our group missing me.

Children of our host. Digital camera
seems to at least partially replace the great popularity of polaroid
cameras in remote areas of all former USSR.
|
The road from from from Sokh to Kalai
Makhmud valley along Sokh river is quite good (although not all the
time as good as here). UAZ minibus in good condiotion (not as our) or
small UAZik jeep and generally all 4WD cars should not have problems
reaching the Kalai Makhmud valley.

View from teahouse at the main (and
the only) sqare in the small town of Isfana. This is the way back
already.
|
By regular bus from Isfana (Kyrgyzstan)
to Proletarsk (Tajikistan). The bus was even not stopped on the quite
relaxed Kyrgyz - Tajik boder (as opposed to every Uzbek border). But it
is stopped and checked sometimes.
