Nomads #2

This is where i spent my first night, at the bank of a huge high altitude lake (3000m) called Song kul lake. This lake is surrounded by big pastures, wild horses, nomad yurts, and beautiful moutains as a backdrop.

You can only reach that place by 4x4 so it was ,again, quite far away ! I really wanted to meet some Kyrgyz nomad, so this is what i did. I found some yurt in the distance and drove towards it, presenting myself to the family the most polite way i could. They where quite happy to invite a french photographer searching for some friends, so i was.

I spent the afternoon playing with the kids, and learning from their nomad way of living. They offered me some food coming straight from their cow herds.
