Kyrgyzstan

Another day at the World Nomad Games, today at the ethno village. A large area in a valley up in the hills. We couldn’t drive up ourselves, because the roads are blocked. But there are free shuttles. In the beginning we feared that it could be messy and crowded, but it turned out super easy. We didn’t have to wait, neither on the ride up nor down.

The village itself was quite cool, there were a lot of yurts from the different regions that displayed local traditions, had songs and so on. Then there was a sport area, where there was archery, some sort of wrestling and also yurt speed building. A lot of impressions on a long day, then we had dinner a little bit further along the Issyk Kul.
