Tourist Information
In winter, vehicle traffic along this route is difficult, so travel along the pass by car with extreme caution and discretion. It's best to travel in two cars to provide assistance. A wind farm has been built at the pass. In 2018, a 75-kilometer bypass road was built from the village of Kegen to the village of Kainar. The pass is very beautiful in both winter and summer, but it can be subject to a strong wind, known as the Kordai Wind.
