Kyrk Gyz, “Forty Girls”, is a cave in the Koytendag mountains. Legend says forty young women hid here from bandits, fed by a mysterious old woman whose grave lies at the entrance, and prayed until they were shown a way out through the caves. In the morning your guide and driver meet you at Kerki airport.
