A yurt camp in Besh-Tash Nature Park. The name “Besh-Tash,” which means “five stones” in Kyrgyz, is inspired by the five stones that stand in the gorge. Due to its remote location, this bucolic valley of western Kyrgyzstan is still quite unknown among tourists. (Talas Region, Kyrgyzstan) Credits: Etienne Bellard (France, @etienneblld)
