Burana Tower & the Field of Petroglyphs
The Burana Tower is an architectural monument of the XI-th century. It is located 70 km from Bishkek. The Burana Tower was one of the first constructions of this type on the territory of Central Asia. The Minaret and the remains of the Serf Walls ...
Song-Kol to Bishkek
It was time to leave just as the weather turned beautifully warm and sunny as predicted by the wether forecast. I left Bales' trusty long, white polyprop leggings that saved my life! Even under three blankets weighing a kilo each did it take me forever ...
The summer school
... but millennia. This could conceivably be called the land at the heart of the earth, where early civilization gushed forth. Kyrgyzstan still maintains its aura of being a land that time has not damaged but preserved. Alongside the traditional but modern ...
pommiauk
Jääme peatselt magama ja silmi avades on ümberringi tekkinud mäed. Ilm on pilves. Jalasirutuspeatuse ajal räägib purjalik vanamees, et on Eestis kaks aastat raketiväelasena aega teeninud. Tee on üsna künkad-mättad, aga asjaolusid arvestades ...
Issyk-Kul, Jailoodo......)))
Summer 2010 I have spent at home, in Bishkek and Issyk-kul. I have lived almost one month in the mountains with my sisters: Aim, Erkinai, Bermet, my brother Dastan, and my beloved auntie, grandma and my second mom Jamilya... I have also studies Chinese ...
karakol
Ouch! About a third of my bum is missing after a couple of days exploring the valleys behind karakol. However the (hopefully temporary) loss of sedentary capacity was more than made up for by the spectacular nature of the altyn-arashan, karakol ...
Kirguicklandia
Passem una nit a Andijon i una a Osh, lultima ciutat uzbeca i la primera kirguica, dos mons a la mateixa vall de Fergana, separats per la frontera de la por, que ha resultat un placid transit a peu per les casetes tranquiles dels policies d ambdos ...
Follow the white rabbit
From Osh, Kim and me took a matrushka, to get to Sary Tash. After crossing a couple of passes, and having lots of fun with the locals (there where about 20 squeezed into that small minibus), we arrived Sary Tash. The sun was about to get down, and it was ...
Filigranes de Kirguistan
Moltes gracies als nous comentaristes... i als habituals, obviament. Hi ha moments, trossets de vida, que arriben sense haver los imaginat ni en filferros. Ens trobem cavalcant a bon pas, en un grup de set cavalls, per les muntanyes del Kirguistan ...
My greatest challenge to date!
Those of you who know me relatively well will think I'm not really afraid of anything. Judging by my prior history of stupidity in action, you would be forgiven for holding such a viewpoint. Those of you who know me best however, are aware of the intense ...
Banking woes in frontier town
Karakol has even more of a feel of a wild-west frontier town than Tashkurgan did. It even looks like one. The street are wide and dusty, the buildings are low and mostly wooden. I could just imagine John Wayne or Billy the Kid riding round the next ...
2. matkapäev
Hommikuks mannapuder ja maas paks kaste. Jurta perepoeg saadab meid jõekanjonist välja ja teeb grupipildi hobuste seljas. Org on lai ja palav, tigedate parmudega. Karakashka surub oma nina Khanati hobuse sabasse. Piknik leiab aset sipelgapesas. ...
3. matkapäev
Hommikul paks kaste maas. Telk on ka seest niiske. Ületame Narõn-Balõtshki tee. Enne näeme ühte kaamelit. Lubati rohkemaid. Teeristis toimub turg. Turg tähendab nännimüügijurtasid ja elamisvaguneid, lisaks lauakesed kumõssilännikutega, hunnik ...
Mutton, Missiles and Miss-directed fear
... in force to celebrate 20 years since the fall of the U.S.S.R and ultimately the re-establishment of an independent Kyrgyzstan. The celebrations are as bizarre as a can be for a middle class white boy from Sydney's "insular ...
«Pamir Sky - 2009»
... Pamir sky - 2009» are the Paragliding Association under Extreme tourism Federation of Uzbekistan in cooperation with «Pamir Expedition» company (Kyrgyzstan). The region for carrying out the festival: As place for carrying out this festival “Pamir ...
plääzil
Hommikusöögi manustame koos maja teisest uksest ilmuvate kaasturistidega, kes saabusid hiljuti Hiinast ja käivad koos duši all ja vetsus. Eile fikseeritud turistiinfost on olemas ainult silt, aga satume samas majas asuvate Ecocenteri töötajate ...
Naryn
Well, sorry for the delay in this specific post (err, if you count a month as a delay). The lack of photos for Kyrgzstan is also my fault as I somehow lost all those I took in Bishkek and beyond. Russell has some and should be posting soon. Anyway, our ...
Not my favourite place
... In true soviet design, the Ala Too Sanatorium was constructed purely of concrete. It was still in use, but like everything in Kyrgyzstan, it was in a state of total dereliction, with nature being just one step away from totally taking over. I imagine this ...
Petites anecdotes
Salut, que je vous raconte un peu mes petites histoires qui pimentent : Voici un exemple de la différence entre un touriste de base et un touriste qui se fait aider par un local. J'achète un truc que je ne peux transporter et je voulais le ...
pidu, pidu
Ärkame hommikul koos päikesega. Sööme pannkooki ja kohupiima ning arveldame. Baraskoonis ööbimine ja söömine tundub olevat matka hinna sees, sest selle eest raha juurde ei küsita. Parem ongi, arvestades matka röögatut hinda. Rash saadab meid ...
i capital Bishkek
La segona part de la travessa entre Osh i Bishkek passa en un Audi dels primers anys 90 el cotxe kirguic per excellencia. Dels grans paisatges oberts, de les sines daurades, neixen triedes terrosos, que -a moltes escales- es van dressant, recolzats l un ...
Exit Kyrgyzstan
Ones we leave Tash-Rabat we can head South to the Torugart border pass. Here we will meet our Chinese guide who will join us for the whole China trip. We hope he can taste our Iltis for the next 3000km?From here it's a other 200km drive to Kashgar. ...
Karakol
Kui voodist valja ronime, ootab meid elutoas juba hunnik pannkooke. Topime kogu oma musta pesu pesumasinasse ja suundume kesklinna poole. Karakol on väga venekeelne linn, enamus sildid vene keeles ja ka kuulda on vene keelt palju. Asutati vene ...
Song Kul I
Ilmselt turistide tarbeks on kodumajutuses ehitatud duširuum, kus nii kraan kui ka dušiotsik on keeratud otse laest tuleva toru otsa. Geniaalne. Ja töötab. Hommikusöögiks omlett, sai värske vaarikamoosiga jne. Moos on siin in ja seda ...
Song Kul II
Jahe öö visklemisega küljelt küljele. Ärkan valguse peale. Päike pole küll veel tõusnud, aga kohe kerkib. Taevas on selge. Topin kõik riided selga. Krõõpi ei raatsi äratada. Peletan pokumaalt lendu parve linde. Päike tõuseb just järveni ...
Kumdu Suu
Öösel lällamist ei toimu, koerad hauguvad vähe. Hommikusöögil oleme hea une tõttu viimased. Mannapuder. Suur tume pilv on katnud kogu taeva, müristab ja sajab rahet. Perepoeg Bolot käib näitamas oma inglise keele õpikut. Lõpuks tuleb päike ...
Bishkek, 1ere impression
Priviete, Ca y est, c'est parti!!! (ici c'est clavier russe ou Qwerty sans accent, désolé...) Arrivée à 2h du matin, pas de pbs de douane, j'avais planqué une partie de mon cash dans mes chaussures au cas où, car il faut déclarer avec ...
