Place to see: Valley of the Flowers, Karakol, Kyrgyzstan
Roasting a sheep's head
We stopped for lunch at a yurt deep in the valley. Many of the valley's residents earn extra money by welcoming tourists into their homes for meals.
About this place:
Located less then an hour outside of Karakol near the small village of Jeti Oguz is the Valley of the Flowers. The best time to visit is during late May and June. Unfortunately, I arrived at the beginning of May and there were very few flowers. Nonetheless, the scenery was spectacular and the people we met were incredibly hospitable.
