Atbaschy Rajon: View of the Atbaschy Mountains

The Atbaschy Rajon (Kyrgyz: Ат-Башы) is a Rajon ( district ) in the extreme south of the Naryn region of the Central Asian Republic of Kyrgyzstan . It borders in the south on the Uyghur Autonomous Region Xinjiang of China , which is reached via the 3752 m high Torugart Pass . The Rajon has the COATE number 41704220000000.

landscape

The area of the Rajons consists of high mountain ranges and some high mountain plateaus, all of which are at an altitude of more than 2000 m and in the extreme south even over 3000 m. The 135 km long Atbaschy mountain range , which crosses the Rajon from east-northeast to west-southwest, rises to an altitude of 4786 m, the Torugart Mountains in the south to 5108 m. The most important rivers are the Aksai , Atbaschy and Karakojun . Close to the Torugart Pass, at an altitude of 3520 m, lies the 170.6 km² lake Chatyrköl (Kyrgyz: Чатыркөл) with no outflow.

Population, traffic, tourism

The 15,354 km² large Rajon is only very sparsely populated due to its geography and climate: its population was 61,793 people in 2015. The administrative seat of the Rajon is in the village of Atbaschy. The national road EM-07 (formerly Soviet A365), which leads from the regional capital Naryn to the Torugart Pass and to Kashgar in Xinjiang, runs through the Rajon for its last 180 km.

In addition to the impressive high mountain landscape , the well-preserved former caravanserai Tash Rabat (Kyrgyz: Таш Рабат) from the 15th century is worth seeing ; it stands at 3105 m altitude in the valley of the Tasch Rabat , a tributary of the Karakojun on its upper reaches.
