I am now going from Bishkek direction Osh by marshrutka (Russian minivan). In the next video, I will show you a town called Toktogul, a 7-hour drive from Bishkek down south. The marshrutka takes the main vertical highway connecting the two biggest cities in Kyrgyzstan, namely Bishkek in the north, and Osh in the south.
Töö Ashuu (Kyrgyz: Төө-Ашуу, Russian: Туя Ашуу), literally "camel mountain pass", is a mountain pass in Kyrgyzstan on the highway from Bishkek to Osh (European route E010) in Kyrgyzstan approximately 120 km from Bishkek. The pass goes over part of the Kyrgyz Alatau range of the Tien Shan mountains. Its elevation is 3,586 m (11,765 ft).In the 1960s a 2.8-kilometer-long (1.7 mi) road tunnel was built under the pass at 3,120 m (10,240 ft) elevation, bypassing the uppermost part of the pass road.
