() Jirsu -

Beautiful and peaceful place. Reachable with any van - the road to Jirsu village is paved and in good condition. It's very steep and has a few sharp turns, but it wasn't a problem with fully loaded Fiat Ducato. If the ground is wet it might be difficult to find a spot for parking. It's near the village but noone seemed to mind my presence. You can take a walk through the fields towards the edge of the Aksu canyon, but the canyon itself (and the edge of it) is part of a reservation and entry is permitted only with a guide. We walked along the border of the reservation and only peeked into the canyon. If you follow the stone road (see satelite map) from here, you will eventually reach a crossroad with some trees (42,3373758, 70,3403034). Over there parking in shade is possible. In dry weather this place is also reachable by 2WD van. There is no internet or mobile signal anywhere on the plateau.
