Lake Kel-Suu (Naryn Region)
Driving beyond the yurt camp towards the lake is prohibited. The last 8 km must be covered on foot, on horseback, or by local vehicle, such as a GAZ-66 truck. Yurt camps in the area offer horseback rides and local vehicle transfers to the lake.
Tosor Pass (Alternative Route Between Naryn and Issyk-Kul)
This is an extremely difficult and dangerous mountain route with several deep river crossings and numerous sharp rocks that can damage the tyres and underbody. There is no mobile coverage, and vehicles rarely pass through the area. Due to the remote location and challenging terrain, this route is unsafe for self-driving and prohibited under our rental rules.
Altyn-Arashan (Issyk-Kul Region)
This route involves difficult off-road driving, numerous sharp rocks, and steep, challenging climbs. Driving can cause serious damage to the vehicle. We recommend hiking or using a local driver with a UAZ off-road vehicle. If needed, contact Too Travel to request the phone number of a local driver.
Kyzyl-Asker Peak (Naryn Region)
This route is impassable for our rental vehicles due to extensive marshland and difficult terrain. Driving this route is prohibited.
Locality Uzongu-Kush (Issyk-Kul Region)
This route is impassable for our rental vehicles due to extensive marshland and difficult terrain. Driving this route is prohibited.
Lake Uch-Kol (Osh–Naryn Region)
Tuz-Ashuu Pass (Son-Kul Area)
This pass has steep, dangerous hairpin bends and exposed sections where vehicles can easily slide off the road. In poor weather, slippery surfaces and strong winds can cause a vehicle to slide downhill or overturn. Driving this route in a rental vehicle is prohibited due to the serious safety risks.
Kegety Pass (Chuy Region)
This pass is impassable for our rental vehicles. The road is frequently covered by landslides and loose rock debris, leaving an unstable surface with a high risk of losing control or overturning. Driving this route is prohibited.
Lake Kol-Kogur (Chuy Region)
Reaching the lake requires crossing a river, which is prohibited under our rental rules. The surrounding terrain is also very remote, with dense bushes that can heavily scratch and damage the vehicle’s bodywork. Driving to the lake in a rental vehicle is prohibited.
