Bartang valley
 
Hi
Just watched a video of a guy riding the Bartang valley in June and it was very dry. He said that in the months of July and August the high snow melts more rapidly and there are many water crossings - just wondering if this is, generally, true.
Many thanks

Bartang. Bl00dy brilliant! Lots of fun. Great riding, scenery, local people and riding buddies.

Rode the usual way. South to North from Rushan towards the M41 near Karakol lake. Took a day and a half. 86km the first day and 200km the second to where we hit the highway. Water levels seemingly quite low.

A super experience!

Yes, early and late in the season is best for Bartang. Less meltwater. Also lower water in the mornings when the sun is less strong. Over night things freeze again.

Motorcyclists tend to ride S to N as it's uphill/ easier Push bikers the other way for the same reason.
