Тянь-Шань скитания

Recommended Posts

A recent two week wandering in the midle of nowhere Kyrgyzstan, central Asia within the massive and beautiful Tian Shan (Celestial) mountain range.

 

A bone jarring 10 hour ride to the end of the earth.

Typical Kyrgyz homestead. Portable!

Plenty of four legged hunters in the area too.

After Richard's Marco Polo success, we enjoyed Argali oysters!

Wow! I was thinking of you when I watched an episode of "I Shouldn't Be Alive" last night. it was about some hunters in Kyrgyzstan that did a hunt like yours only their vehicle got stuck in a giant blizzard and they nearly froze to death in 40 below zero temps before a helicopter came in and rescued them. Funny thing is some guys on snowmobiles came to rescue them too and they said it was guys from American Border Patrol. The hunters opted to fly out in the helicopter rather than ride snowmobiles but the helicopter crashed and they had to get rescued again! I am glad your hunt wasn't so adventurous!

 

Thanks so much for sharing your pictures! I love seeing our members who get a chance to hunt exotic places. Congrats on your animals. I bet it was crazy cold there!
