Three hours later we will reach the shepherd's house and see with our own eyes how the life of an ordinary mountain shepherd is adjusted. Warming by the fire, and listening to the amazing stories of the mountaineers, we will have dinner here and spend one night.
This day will be even more exciting. At an altitude of 3400 m, extraordinary beauty opens up. Attention! We are passing the Tuz-Ashuu pass! Stock up on batteries and energy on your cameras and mobile phones, because it is from here that you will admire the magnificent panoramic view of Son-Kul Lake and the entire valley near the coast. A selfie against this background will beat all the ratings on your pages.
In the afternoon we arrive at the yurt camp.
This day at the lake is devoted entirely to love. Love for nature, traditions, cuisine, culture, history of nomads. If you wish, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains, ride a sleigh, play various folk and entertaining games. And at night the Universe itself will open its soul to us! Millions of bright large, small, flying, dancing, twinkling, fading and emerging stars will take you to the boundless world of dreams and self-knowledge. Today we are staying here!
