Territory notes

The field account

Tuura-Suu is an altitude village located 8km south of Bokonbaevo (capital of Tong district). This small village is the last village at the foot of the Tong Pass, by which a road that is no longer passable by vehicle, joins Naryn Oblast, and the hot springs of Jeli-Suu. The village shepherds set up yurts in the pastures during the summer. It is also the starting point for accompanying eagle hunters on horseback, and the most authentic period is winter during the hunting season.
