There is hardly another region like Lake Song-Kul where you can marvel at the vast highland grasslands like here. From early summer, farmers settle here in their yurts and live their traditional nomadic life. A good chance to get to know this way of life.

Photography Tips

Always have your telephoto lens with you and look out for the already active nomads on their horses in the morning mist / first light. This picture is taken with the Canon RF 100-500mm.

Travel Information
