I'd like to go overland from Batken town to the Isfara-Isfana road without passing through Tajikistan. I realize this means passing between Tajikistan and the Vorukh enclave. Is this possible? Has anyone on this forum done it?

Thanks!

No problem to avoid the Enclaves.
There is a road in construction all an Kyrgyz territory going around the 3 Enclaves (Sohimardon, Soch and Voruch). You need to tell the taxi driver that you need to drive on the "abies" road (that is Russian for bypass).
Many people do that and the taxi driver know about the foreigners need of not going through Uzbek and Tajik territory.
