Yurtas - traditional felt tents able to withstand extreme cold weather at the jailoo - summer pastures tucked into the Tian Shan in central Kyrgyzstan
Yurtas - traditional felt tents able to withstand extreme cold weather at the jailoo - summer pastures tucked into the Tian Shan in central Kyrgyzstan. A traditionally nomadic country, most of the Kyrgyz herdsmen were collectivised during the Soviet days, which included Kyrgyzstan as a state of the empire. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1992 witnessed many nomads return to life in a tent.
