Day 4: experience the kyrgyz nomad migration

Desiring to dive deeper into what Nomad culture entails, beyond riding horses and staying in yurts.. 🐴 🛖

Together with our local Kyrgyzstan partners, we've put together a 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan Nomad Migration 🐴 experience during which we could join a real Nomad family during their Summer migration! ☀️

The defining highlight of our trip! ✨ 🙌🏻

We'll start the morning by joining a local Kyrgyz Nomad Family in counting and herding their cattle. 🐴

Share traditional Kyrgyz meals with them and experience local Kyrgyz cuisine. 🥘

Kyrgyz dishes are often hearty and filling, usually revolving around dairy, bread and meats such as lamb and beef.

Participate in their "Jyt Chygaruu" ceremony, a combination of the practice of obtaining milk from livestock with rituals and prayers for the blessing of their herd, family and a smooth migration journey. 🥛 🐐

Help them disassemble as well as reassemble their Yurt, a fascinating and satisfying process! 🛖 🙌🏻 ✨

Take a scenic drive to the Kyrgyz Family's "Jailoo", ie. Summer Pasture. 🏞️

We'll end our Kyrgyz Nomad Migration day with a 2nd night Yurt Stay at a Lakeside Yurt Camp in Song Kol! ✨ 🏞️ 🛖

One of the most stunning and remote locations in Kyrgyzstan, the Song Kol Lake in the Tian Shan Mountains is known for its pristine beauty, crystal clear waters and vast, open landscapes.

Regarded as part of the Hunter's family, the Eagles are also usually released around 15 years of age to allow it to have its own family and ensure balance in the ecosystem. 🦅

We'll then have some to relax by the Issyk Kul Lake, one of the world's largest and most beautiful saltwater lakes, surrounded by the majestic Tien Shan Mountains. 🏔️

🇨🇳 The Dungan Mosque reflects the rich history of the Dungan people: Chinese Muslims who migrated to Kyrgyzstan in the 19th Century, fleeing religious persecution in China.

🇷🇺 The Russian Orthodox Church was built during the Russian Empire's rule over Central Asia, and is a testament to the region's historical connections with Russia and the influence of Orthodox Christianity in Kyrgyzstan.
