Tajikistan

A really relaxed day, we didn’t stress in the morning at all. Breakfast, flying the drone and just enjoying the sun which is perfect here, with the colder air temperature. During the drone flight, I realized that I can increase the maximum flight altitude to 500 meters. It’s not regulated like in Europe. This provided some completely different views.

Today was not much driving on the program, we just wanted to visit Yashilkul Lake and enjoy the views. We were once again stunned by how beautiful everything is here and how there are no people at all. Yes, there are beautiful places in Switzerland, but you will never find one without other people.

After the Yashilkul stop we headed to some hot springs, but they were too hot. So we instead opted for the ice cold river just behind the hot springs building. This was super refreshing and exactly what we needed.

Then we headed to a small geyser, which is now also our stop for the night.
