With a bit of luck yaks can be found in the high mountain area of Kyrgyzstan. It is a species of long-haired domesticated cattle. which are normally found in the Himalayan region. A rare encounter that makes the heart beat faster.

Photography Tips

Make time for wildlife spotting and always keep your eyes open with a telescope as you spend the many hours in the car until you arrive at your desired locations in the highlands. You will notice that there is more wildlife than you might think at first.

Definitely have your telephoto lens ready.

Travel Information

Unfortunately, the most beautiful mountain range in Kyrgyzstan is also the most difficult to reach. Only the most experienced drivers in the Naryn region dare to go here and never drive alone. Due to the proximity to the Chinese border, you pass through two military posts and need a special permit from the government, which you can obtain from tourism associations such as TerraMontis etc! The small path, which is initially still on gravel and sandy roads and really not well developed, leads over some huge old drinking water pipes that are in danger of collapsing.
