Postcards from Kyrgyzstan
The elements of earth, wind, water combine here with joy, kindness, and freedom. This land brought into my life the kind of happiness I had forgotten for a long time.
Some of the most beautiful moments in life always come after challenges. Here on our way to the yurt camp, our vehicle gave way and while waiting for another one to arrive, the typical unpredictable Kyrgyz weather took over. It rained, dusted the mountain tops with a fresh sheet of snow, and then these three beauties came running across, making this moment the best part of that day!
The pale green waters of what is left of the Köl Suu lake. Some of the previous images that I had seen of this place was with water at a much higher level and deep emerald in colour. To reach the place, we made a precarious river crossing from our yurt camp followed by a 30 minutes hike up a picturesque trail with valley views of flowing river amongst the mountains and yaks grazing on the slopes
Last light of the day which lasted for hours at our yurt camp at Köl Suu. There were a bunch of sheep making their way towards the yurts and we waited in anticipation for them to reach near the yurts for that perfect frame, but they stopped just where the shadows begin towards the right and refused to budge. We died in the cold waiting for them to arrive 😋
