The Kyrgyz are closing the pass and building a fence. There have been too many landslides and the actual path is no longer recognizable. It's a real torture on a bike, I can't recommend it.
This section requires to mostly carry or push your bike as there has been multiple landslide and the trail is covered on slate for most of the way. Be careful when you are stepping to avoid sliding. There is no access to water in this section.
