Pereval Teskeytorpo is a rugged off-road mountain pass (~3,133 meters) connecting Song-Köl Lake with the southern Naryn region. This route offers breathtaking alpine views—making it popular among overlanders—though it's notorious for tire damage due to sharp rocks. Most travelers (myself included) opt to bypass this route, instead heading north around the lake before descending south to Naryn.
