1)  Tash-Rabat / At-Bashy

Tash-Rabat lies 115km south of Naryn, one can visit the beautifully preserved 15th century Tash-Rabat Caravanserai. It is important because it is one of the latest examples of ancient architecture, and has an unusual plan, the kinds of raw materials and for other reasons. The caravanserai was first mentioned by the author Mohamed Hider who lived in the 16th century. He supposed that Tash-Rabat was built by Mohamed Khan, who ruled in Mogulistan in the 1st part of the 14th century. Talking about the purposes of Tash-Rabat, the scholars suppose that functionally it is a caravanserai (a kind of hotel) on Silk Road, but some other sources (folk legends and stories) suggest that Tash-Rabat was built by Nestorians, and served as Nestorian Church in the past.
Nowadays, it is possible to spend a night over there, as Shepherd’s Life yurt camps are located not far from the caravanserai. 
If Kyrgyzstan feels like the far side of the world, the end of the line, then At-Bashy feels like the very last stop. 45km past Naryn and 5km off the Torugart road, this is the last sizeable town before China. Even in this far corner of Kyrgyzstan, though, there is plenty to attract the traveler.  Koshoi Korgon was a large citadel in the 10th century. Its ruins sit 15km towards the Torugart.  50km further on, Tash-Rabat, an intact Silk Road caravanserai, reposes in a beautiful valley in the At-Bashy Range.

2)  Ak-Talaa / Kurtka

The road west from Naryn to Kazarman passes south of Son-Köl through some of the most rugged terrain anywhere, weaving its lonely way along the racing Naryn River and skirting the Jaman-Too (“Bad Mountains”). This is Ak-Talaa rayon (not to be confused with Ak-Talaa Village, which is in Naryn rayon). The road is a destination in itself: the trip up, over, and down into Jalalabat can only be described as epic. This is also where the least-traveled of the four “major” roads to Son-Köl originates, heading north from just west of Ak-Tal Village (which really is in Ak-Talaa rayon).
 
Shepherd’s Life has an office in nearby Kurtka Village.

3)  Jumgal / Chaek

West from Kochkor, a decent road (slated for further upgrade in the government’s development plan) cuts across Jumgal rayon, through Chaek and a string of smaller villages, and traverses the beautiful Suusamyr Valley before intersecting with the Bishkek-Osh road just south of the towering Too-Ashuu Pass. Shepherd’s Life has 2 offices here, in Jumgal rayon (Kyzart Village) and Doskulu Village. From here, tourists can explore this nearly untouristed part of Kyrgyzstan.  Highlights include the standard breathtaking alpine beauty, as well as access to shimmering Son-Köl Lake, via the road from Bash-Kuugandy (near Chaek) or on foot or horseback from Kyzart (near Doskulu).
