Where's the Lake?


Backpackers I'd met echo the Lonely Planet's four star review of Lake Song Kol. It took me two days and a hailstorm to find the lake and when I did it was freezing cold and the lakefront was all marsh. Not great for a tent.
But okay for yurts and I stayed with this family of herders. THey called all the neighbors to come see me and then I had to visit all of their respective homes for tea and koumis. It was a long day! One man took me out on a horse to round up the goats. Im getting better at horse riding. I even managed to take this photo while he was munching edilevisse.
