Staying with a nomadic family in Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 (Part 1 of 2)

Read here how you can do this trek by yourself www.tim-tense.com/trek-song-k...
Song-Kul is a beautiful alpine lake in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. There are several options to get there and one of them is by walking. I started from the Kyzart Pass and made my way to Kelimche valley in this video and I slept for the first time in a Yurt.
0:00 Intro
0:30 Shared taxi from Kochkor to Kyzart Pass
01:49 Start hiking from Kyzart Pass
09:06 Swimming in ice-cold mountain river
13:07 Arrival at Yurt camp in Kelimche Valley
16:27 Tour or a typical Yurt camp in Kyrgyzstan
21:19 Dinner at Yurt camp
In the next video I will go to Song-Kul and stay with a local nomadic family.
Enjoy watching!

    I like your video! I'm sure they were thinking, "who is that crazy guy?" 🙂 I admire your bravery for doing such an adventurous trip! I don't blame you for filtering the water, you could get what Americans call 'beaver fever". Even if the water comes from the mountains, deer upstream can cause you to get sick.
