Why to buy my tours-?

Three Main Reasons : 

First- I take tourists to the only region in the Kyrgyzstan, (Which was allowed for non- residents to visit only in 2012)

Where still live true Nomads. 

Last True Nomads of Kyrgyzstan. 

Who are the Nomads?

They are the the people, making  a living by raising  their Cattle and migrating in the mountains or stepps or semi- deserts 

They not making a living, by manufacturing the cars, or by growing the wheat Or by working in offices 

All their income is their Cattle. And the summer pastures, in my case the summer pastures, high in Southern Kyrgyzstan mountains. 

If the summer is good, then the grass and other plants , in mountains are big and plenty. 

In other regions of Kyrgyzstan, people make a living ,by selling goods, cultivating wheat, vegetables, Working in offices etc.

Why people in the region I take tourists to, don't do all these things?

Because the climat doesn't allow to grow wheat, vegetables, fruits etc.

And there are not roads, transiting that region. 

Only roads in.

Why people from the region I take tourists to, just didn't leave that region?

Why didn't they do the same As the people in other regions of Kyrgyzstan did ?

That is just to leave the high mountains and move to the valleys,where life is much easier?

Because people in region,where I take tourists to, were forced by the Soviet government to stay in that region. 

Because they were the descendants of the Basmachy- The ideological enemis of the communist Soviet government. 

I have to say :

Officially, there was never a law , forbidding to leave that region. 

Not on paper!

But in reality there was!

In short Kyrgyz Nomads in that region till 1916

( time of Ürkün- revolt against Russian tsar),had only 2 ( two) summer months to go to the outside world. 

And after 1917,( revolution in  Russia empire, and modern Kyrgyzstan was at that time,a part of the Russia)

the Kyrgyz Nomads from that region,were forbidden to leave that region .

This is the Reason Why ONLY in that region Nomads stayed as the Nomads-!

They just didn't have a choice but to stay as the Nomads!

In other parts of Kyrgyzstan,Nomads were encouraged bybthe government of the USSR to leave the  high mountains, and  move to the  villages on the plains 

And they lost the true Nomad' s way of life

I hope now you understand, Why the  true Nomads can  be found ONLY in the region I take tourists to.

I would love to say You can find true Nomads everywhere in Kyrgyzstan. 

But that's not true. 

Nomad way of life looks like  very nice to the outsider. 

High mountains. Green pastures. 

Green Forests and cristall clear rivers 

Pristine nature and Nomads in their  Bozyui ( Yurts) and tents 

 With the Cattle grazing on mountain sides 

But in fact Nomad life is very difficult!

Just one fact.

Do you know that the Kyrgyz Nomad woman Must! Milk the mares five (5) times a day?

And then she must Whip ( process  mare' s milk) 300 times! 

I myself lift 32 kg barbells.

Trek for many hours, non stop 

So I'm quite fit.

But after Whipping a mare's milk in the Chanach (leather bag) 50- 60 times, I felt myself tired 

Can you imagine a woman do it 300 times once?

And 1500 times per day?

And this is just one example 

So Nomads from other parts of Kyrgyzstan were quite glad to leave high mountains. 

Second reason:

I was born and raised as the Nomad 

I did all the jobs, the Nomads do.

Raised the Cattle. 

Brought from the forests and cut the woods.

And so on

So, I am not a stranger in Southern Kyrgyzstan mountains,among the Kyrgyz Nomads!

Third and main reason. 

True Nomads are disappearing. 

They leaving mountains, for easier life in cities. 

2025.

This is the year When one of the fundamental laws of the True Nomads was  broken 

It was a thousand years old tradition to welcome the passer-bys by offering them a dish of the Kymyz ( processed mare's milk. Not just mare' s milk, but the processed one-!)

This tradition gone.

Kyrgyz Nomad Traditions disappearing. 

One by one

I've been saying for more then 20- years.

-" In one generation There will be No true  Nomads left in Kyrgyzstan,Let's make a documentary and preserve at least on tape the true Nomad way of life!-"

But nobody listens to me-! 

 And I have no meanings to make a documentary on my own. 

These are main reasons as to Why you should buy my tours 

Thanks for your time and welcome to Nomad Land in southern Kyrgyzstan  mountains!
