In winter, the movement of auto transport along this route is difficult, therefore, moving along the pass by car should be done with great care and prudence. Better to travel in two vehicles for mutual assistance. A wind farm (wind power plant) was built on the pass. In 2018, a 75-kilometer road was built to bypass the pass from the village of Kegen to the village of Kainar. The pass is very beautiful in winter and summer, but there is a strong wind here, which is called the Kordai wind.
