Yurts pitched beside a lake at 3,000 metres, with nothing else in view.
Kyrgyzstan centres on Bishkek, the high pastures around Song-Kol and the shores of Issyk-Kul. A luxury journey trades hotel rooms for a yurt camp at 3,000 metres, with horses and eagle hunters for company. The Tian Shan range gives the country its scale.
June to September is the main season, when yurt camps at Song-Kol are open and mountain routes are clear. Spring and early autumn suit the lower valleys, while winter closes most of the high country.
