Journey notes

About this Journey

After spending the night in the shepherd family's yurt by the shores of Song Kul Lake, we begin our day with a hearty traditional breakfast. Setting off on horseback from our yurt camp, we embark on a journey towards the Uzbek Pass, where the breathtaking vistas of Song Kul Lake and the Jumgal Valley unfold before us in all their magnificence. As we traverse the pass, the trail becomes steeper, leading us past yurts and winter farms. Upon reaching the village of Kyzart, our awaiting driver transports us by car to Kochkor, marking the end of this unforgettable day amidst the rugged beauty of the Kyrgyz mountains.
