An alternative to the more common South crossing close to the UZ border. This is a more direct route but longer in distance. The crossing by itself is 700km with just a single village Bosoi after 480km. Temperature can go up to 50C so account for adequate water and fuel storage. This track can be technical as there are multiple hidden ruts and holes. Parts of the track are not following any trail, careful navigation while keeping an eye out for obstacles is mandatory. Nobody rides here in summer or wintertime, do not expect any help.
