Kyrgyz Republic Lonely yurt before Tien-Shan mountain range, Sary-Jaz

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
The Sary-Jaz Valley has a charm all of its own. The vastness of the tranquil landscape with the Tien Shan Mountains and its snowy peaks, some of which are over 6000 meters high, in the background is hard to take your eyes off.

On your way into the valley you can find lonely nomads who set up their yurts over the summer.

Along the valley you can enjoy a special tranquillity in untouched nature.

Photography Tips

A telephoto lens changes the perspective dramatically and gives you new possibilities. Here you can place the yurt in the foreground in such a way that the mountains kilometers away come extremely close.

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!
