    A 'place' I have visited

    In May, each year, Kyrgyz shepherds take the road to the mountains with their cattle and their families. They leave villages to get back to the ancient nomad life. They live in yurts for 4 months, far away from civilization, where grass is green and nourishing for their horses, cows and sheeps. In September, when the peaks turn white, they pack back to the valleys.
