Things to Do in Murghab
Starting points for your perfect trip
Karakul Lake Expedition
Drive north over the 4,655-meter Ak-Baital Pass to reach a meteorite-formed lake at 3,960 meters. Karakul stretches 33 kilometers across a stark, salt-crusted basin surrounded by snow-capped peaks, with yurt camps on the eastern shore.
Marco Polo Sheep Tracking
Join local wildlife guides on a 4x4 expedition into the Pshart Valley and Rang Kul territory to observe one of the world's largest populations of Marco Polo sheep. Herds of dozens graze open basins at 3,700 to 4,800 meters.
Kyrgyz Nomad Yurt Camp Stay
Spend a night in a traditional felt yurt with a Kyrgyz nomadic family on their summer pasture. Share kumys, fresh yak butter, and beshbarmak while learning centuries-old herding traditions on the high plateau.
Shakhty Cave Paintings Visit
Drive to a cave at 4,100 meters containing Mesolithic-era paintings dating to roughly the 8th millennium BCE. Red-pigment figures depict masked hunters, yaks, and bears at one of the highest rock-art sites in the world.
