Deep in the valley, behind the clouds, lies Peak Lenin. On the shores of Lake Tulpar-Kol, there is also a camp, run by the Sary-Moghol CBT (Community Based Tourism), which provides accommodation for tourists and mountaineers who would like to attempt the ascent of the “easiest” of the 7,000 m peaks.

This photograph is also an opportunity to revisit the work of photographer Danil Usmanov, previously published in Novastan but also by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) as part of a report on the consequences of Covid-19.
