Taldyk Pass, Mountain pass in Alay Mountains, Kyrgyzstan

The Taldyk Pass extends through the Alay mountain range at 3,615 meters, connecting the Gulcha River region with the Alai Valley in southern Kyrgyzstan.

Russian forces constructed the first cart path in 1876 under General Abramov's command, establishing a military communication route to the Alay Valley region.

The monument to construction manager Yuri M. Grushko stands at the pass, marking the engineering achievements of the 1930s road development project.

The pass remains accessible year-round via the M41 highway, featuring a paved road that stretches 24.9 kilometers from Ak-Bosogo to Sary-Tash.

The northern approach includes fourteen sharp hairpin turns with an 8 percent gradient, creating a winding path through the mountainous terrain.

Elevation above the sea: 3,615 m
