Murgab to SaryTash is open. I did it about 10 days ago.
Its on the M41.

Kyrg customs 39.507, 73.268
Tajik customs 39.373, 73.327

There is about 20 km of "no-mans land"

I'm not sure about the other border crossings.

I crossed form Tajik into Kyrg near Isfarna. The crossing is at
40.1056, 70.7436
It is not so easy to find as there are many roads crossing the border around there according to the maps.

Valid border crossings for foreigners are marked on the thread at the top of this section full of waypoints. The waypoints for the valid border crossings are there.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
