history

The village was founded in 1904 by Russian resettlers as Snamenka a little downstream from the current location and later relocated. During the period of independence of the Tuvinian People's Republic (until 1944), the place was given its Tuvinian name in 1935 (such as "Yellow tributaries"), which is also common in Russian today. From 1921 the village was the administrative seat of one of the first seven khoschuns of the People's Republic with the name (Russified) Saltschakski; In 1929 it was renamed Kaa-Chemski choschun after the Tuvan name of the river. Since the reorganization of the administrative units on August 7, 1945, Saryg-Sep has been the center of this Rajons / Koschuun in its present form.

traffic

Saryg-Sep is the end point of the regional road 93K-03, which branches off the federal highway R257 Krasnoyarsk  - Abakan  - border with Mongolia in the republic capital Kyzyl . First, the 93N-04 continues up the small Yenisei, which crosses the river by car ferry after 5 km at the village of Dersig-Aksy and later follows the left tributary Buren upwards until it reaches the R257 again at Balgasyn , 60 km southwest .

On the south-eastern edge of the town there is a small unpaved airfield ( ICAO code UNYE ), which is now served irregularly (status 2014). A previously existing passenger ship line on the Little Yenisei to Kyzyl has been out of service since the 1990s.
