The road to the summit is gravel, dusty, bumpy and dangerous. Your wheels will be astounded at the wonderful views of the mountains spread out before you! They are terrible for drivers who are prone to vertigo. The road is very steep. You'll feel like leaning into the car and away from the edge. Drive with care as this is a mountain road with hairpin curves and dangerous dropoffs. The pass links the villages of Kurulush and Terek-Say. Usually, the pass  is open from May through November. The pass is one of the most treacherous mountain drives of the country.
