Turgen

Rolling Green hills with a water fall.  Didn't hike to this waterfall but did go to see another (smaller) one closer.

First time to trek across the mighty river.  Must have crossed it a hundred times after this.

Few pictures of the falls.

Traditional Kazaks tied ribbons to trees for their prayers.

Not really sure why but the bus driver when out of his way to show a washed out bridge.  Perhaps it was a testimony of Soviet engineering might and ability?

Traditional Kazak house made of fabrics on a wooden frame.  The inside walls usually have ornate rugs also.
