Itinerary description
The way to Qiyut climbs slowly from the main road, with moderate gradients. I am pretty sure that the current road is an improved version of an older and steeper one, but it is still fun and very safe. You will not find too many challenges on the way to the village and sometimes I was trying to understand what is the point to invest so many resources in a road going to mostly nowhere. Follow the main road and the instructions provided as GPX files and keep going for around 27 km before reaching the village of Qiyut. You can even speed up a little, but the last few kilometers represent quite a steep downhill and you should think of using low gear here for safety reasons and brake pads savings. The way to the village and the village itself are somehow average, but the return journey is not. This part of the road will be more thrilling and exciting. You will enjoy a lot of nice views as the road waves back to the main road and there are lots of places for nice pictures.
