Shakhty Caves, where are they
 

Anybody have the exact GPS coordinates of the Shakhty Caves in Tajikistan. I have an idea of where about it is, but can not narrow it down to the exact location.

Thanks, KP

My research only gives 'general' area doh

quote - The impressive Neolithic cave paintings of Shakhty (4200m) are 50km southwest of Murgab, 25km off the Pamir Highway, in the dramatic Kurteskei Valley

quote - The Shakhty cave site is protected by the Murghab Ecotourism Association (META) and visitors must seek permission from the META/ACTED office in Murghab to see the paintings (meta@acted.org - tel: +992 355 421453 or satphone +882 165 060 15 13).

A quick google for photos marked with location gave me this> Panoramio - Photo of Shakhty Cave and Paintings look on the right for the location of the picture. I would look for other examples too to be 100% sure.

I had looked at this Panoramio picture before, but didn't notice the coordinates right there. I don't believe the coordinates are really accurate, they are in some flat land, but it is close to some rock formation. I have been looking at sat photos of this area hoping I would see tracks or foot path of some sort but there is nothing really obvious. There may be some very faint tracks going around the North side of this rock formation, but it is hard to say. If this is where it is then obviously it is not a well traveled site, and that is good.
