Kyrgyz Republic River veins, Aksu river in Sary-Jaz region
Anyone who believes that Iceland has the only glacier drains with special colors has not yet been to Kyrgyzstan. With the drone, all the structures are clearly visible and are at least as breathtaking as the entire scenery around Sary-Jaz valley.
Photography Tips
Top down perspectives will give you a concrete structure of the river branches. A polarizing filter takes away some of the sunlight reflection.

Travel Information
Located off the beaten path, only a few kilometers from the Chinese border away you need to have a really good 4x4 car for this spot. It is so important to have an experienced driver who knows the area. You should also always make sure you have enough fuel (extra canister) and all the tools you need to get yourself out of the mud if you get stuck.
You can camp anywhere on site or ask the few individual nomads if you can spend the night there.
As you will pass two military posts, you will need a special permit for the area, which you must apply for in advance from the government or a tourism provider!
