A362 Kyrg/Kazak border crossing near Kegen
Does anyone know if the border is open on A362 between Issyk Kul lake in Kyrg and Kegen Kazakh?
Locate 42.7913, 79.1588 I'd like to cross there this week sometime. I don't really have any desire of going back into Bishkek after Issyk Kul. Thanks! Keep on :scooter: |
It is due open according to Kyrgyzstan border crossings | Caravanistan but no official word.

I suppose I could ginnypig it. but.. If its closed.. its and extra 2 or 3 days ride to get to Almaty. I'll be talking to the Muztoo guys and trying to make some phone calls before hand.

I think they closed it in 2010, perhaps related to the outbreak of violence in the Fergana region. I crossed itin 2009.

Good News!
Border is Open.
I went through. Its open from 9:00 until 6:00. Kyrgyz side was quick. I don't know if the guys there have ever seen an American passport. The Kazakh side took longer because the customs guys couldn't figure out the computer program for the temp import document. So the other guys there fed me and gave me coffee. In the end they all wanted pictures with my bike. I was on my way after about 1 1/2 hours. |
border kirgyzstan -Kazajastan
Hello everyone
I am also interested in getting into Kyrgyzstan from Kazakhstan. In August I will make a trip to these countries I'm seeing some possibilities to enter Kyrgyzstan from Almaty A) by Biskek B) by Kegen and there is a road / piste by the Chong Kemin Valley.Begins just south of Almaty, are just 96km and finish in a Lake Issy Kul Anyone know if this last option is possible? the track can do in car 4x4 It takes some special permission? As there is no border post, where I would seal the output of Kazakhstan? regards |

We are waiting for our Kaz visa in Bishkek then a quick trip around the lake before heading north through that border. Adam is about 2-3 days behind us :thumbup1: G |
