beautiful day nice and chilly isn't it it has always been a dream of mine to stay  in the yurt but I never imagined it's going   to be in a place like this good morning we are  still in Kyrgyzstan and we are at this beautiful   village of the mountains called Altyn-Arashan  it's so remote it's so remote there's nothing   here it was not easy to get here I mean there's  multiple ways to get here we didn't choose the   hardest way already we took an old Russian  jeep it's super like heavy duty it was quite   an interesting experience but basically for 1.5-2  hours we went through these really really rugged   roads you wouldn't even consider it like a road  in some of the places cuz it's just boulders I thought the road in Nepal was bad but this  one beats them all it's crazy but yeah this   is one of the places that we really wanted to  go to in Kyrgyzstan and I'm just so happy to be   here stay in a yurt and see the horses grazing  right in front of our yurt the cow is coming at   night to graze as well and you did a good job  choosing a place here you like it I love it   it's in between the valleys and it's so private  compared to the other yurt stay around here so   we're actually at this yurt camp that is called  Abay Etno Town and it's in a really good location   but further down actually there were more choices  so this place seems a little bit far you've got to   walk maybe like another 15-20 minutes to  go to the river to go to the hot springs   yes there are hot springs around here we  will show you that later tonight because   that's where we're going to go take a shower  we're not going to take a cold shower here   cuz it's really really cold I wonder what's for  breakfast I know I'm actually quite hungry Maybe   because of the altitude and I'm cold yeah a cup  of coffee would be nice good morning morning what is that bread and salami and watermelon  and assorted nuts and raisins coffee please   what's that porridge yeah it looks  so fine yeah I'm actually not sure is it like grits like oatmeal maybe  it smells milky it is kind of Milky   we did bring backup oatmeal for you  for breakfast though if this one is   too creamy cuz I I cannot drink  milk yeah he's lactose intolerant thank you nice and hot nice and hot on my hand  it's crazy because right now it's summertime but   it's already this cold in the morning and I can't  check what the temperature is because there's no   internet access up here we're totally off-grid we  usually wake up check our phones this is perfect   but I think it's probably 10° you think it's 10°  I think it's a single digit really it was so cold   last night this stuff is not supposed to be for  this trip but we had to take it out it was so cold you taste it and you let me know this is okay   for me it's so funny my view  right now is a horse grazing you can't really see it really well you see his  you see his bum but they're eating breakfast   as well yeah this morning one of them was  blocking our door we couldn't get out we   opened the door to the yurt we were going  to go brush our teeth and we're oh sorry tastes like yogurt no it tastes like not oatmeal   but more like corn grits is it corn  I'm not sure does it have any taste it's creamy it's actually quite  comforting it's not milky at all   it's actually delicious you don't find  it milky I'm not sure if there's milk   in it I never had anything like this  it's like between congee and oatmeal it's so comforting for  breakfast here cuz it's so warm  real quick we built our website on Squarespace 2  years ago

video let me give you a quick tour  of the place we're staying at   so this is where we had breakfast  this morning this is the kitchen   that they cook for us I think they live in this  one and this one there are six units available   for guest and this one is our yurt welcome  to our yurt it's going to be a quick tour yeah it's simple but it's so comfortable got  to take off your shoes though it's a little bit   dark in here but we do have a light here they  have electricity well just at night it kind of   it's really bright but in the daytime it doesn't  really do too much because they have a generator   on site that they turn on just in the evenings  we have our beds which we positioned here with   our thick blankets and pillows and they actually  give us 1 2 3 4 5 6 so there's actually six sets   of bedding so you can easily fit a family or come  with your friends come with your friends and stay   here together there isn't really that much to  it it's just a very spacious tent basically and   I believe this is a modern style yurt because  all of this is like metal in the old days it's   probably just wood that you can easily put  up and like string or something like that   but this one is yeah the material is different  I think this might be even like combination of   felt like lightweight materials they put a carpet  underneath here and they cut out a hole for that   boulder where you tripped yesterday almost broke  your ankle yeah but it's kind of funny to have   this here this is basically the yurt yeah it's  very comfortable stay after all it's warmer in   here than you think though I think the tent would  be much colder this already protects you from the   wind so before we came we weren't sure if we  were going to get a private yurt because it   said it was like two 2,200 KGS per person so  I was thinking that perhaps we have to share a   yurt but when we got here they're like no no you  have your own yurt so basically we pay 4,400 KGS   per day for the two of us including breakfast and  dinner but we also spend extra to get the car to   drive us off here the driver actually staying  overnight no two nights here and then we going   to go back with him tomorrow cuz it's not worth  the effort to drive back into town through those   bumpy roads and just to come back to pick us  up so he's staying down there in that house I   think cuz I saw the truck down there and we pay  8,000 KGS for a return trip I think it's usually   the standard price is 9,000 KGS you can try to  bargain but honestly it's really worth it because   we were were planning to hitchhike at one point  it would been really hard I think and trekking   would be like 5 hours up the mountain so yeah  and our car Chery definitely would not make it and I want to show you one more thing and this is the water we used to clean our  hands clean our face and we're actually   drinking and eating from this water yeah  they were making tea and cooking with this   too they cook with this water I guess it  comes from the mountains so it's fresh   and clean and it's really cold yeah and  we have a little seating area here hello yesterday we just came here sat here read the  book enjoying the sunset and the family also   use this bench a lot yeah yeah the family that  is running this place is a big family she has   five kids the parents are not here right now  they went to get supplies in Karakol so just   the kids running it they're doing a good job  they're taking good care of us the two sisters   were cooking yesterday the boys were helping  cleaning yeah I think this is the social media   detox we needed not to always be on our phone  and this is quite enjoyable so should we stay   here for a month I was thinking how long can  I do this how long can I not have internet I   think a week I think a week because I need to get  in touch with my family even when I was like I'm   going to be gone for two days my sister's like  be careful stay safe it's like she's worried so   I think a week maybe max how long can you stay  you think yeah a week a week is reasonable yeah   it's getting warmer now maybe we can go  horse back riding yeah yeah that'll be fun 5 minutes 5 minutes how much is it one  time 900 something 1 hour how long yes   1 hour yes okay 800 is 800 okay 800 800  okay okay yeah okay yeah got 100 down   so 800 KGS is about less than $10 for 1 hour  yeah I think so we're waiting for the horses I cover my face because I'm allergic to horses this one's for me okay hello oh you're so sweet  I like how they have very stylish haircuts right   and they swing their head in the wind you  see their hair yeah oh so handsome so sexy you remember how to do this kind of it's 11:25 I guess we're going by ourselves are  you are you sure we don't know what to do they   only brought two horses so just us we're good  okay okay you follow me we have 1 hour to play if you want to go right you pull right okay I'm not sure what to do to be honest don't be scared go okay honestly I was thinking  we would be going with someone I'm not sure   where we're going right now I'm kind of kind of  nervous maybe don't go up the mountain don't worry   he's following us is he I think so oh oh he's  not following us I guess not wow look at this you'll take care of me right you're  doing a great job you want to go that way sure but I don't know how to change this we're going through the fields  go through the fields is nice I don't know if you can see but Note is stuck  over there it was his idea let's go just the two   of us let's go we're going to spend an hour here  I mean it's nice that it's inexpensive but I think   it would be better to have a a guide with us at  least maybe can tell us what to do with the horses   but the people that rent out the horse they seem  super comfortable with us taking it by ourselves   which is very interesting maybe they think we're  Kyrgyz that we know how to do this want to come to   me hey come on nope that way that way how do you  control this okay I think I think my horse knows   I don't know what the hell I'm doing okay let's  go to them yeah you see them over there go go go he doesn't want to move now this is an epic  fail where's the kid I need the kid back help yeah he's not going thank you we finally got them to go  finally got the horse working you were stuck there for quite  a while did the little boy come   to save you yeah he gave me a whip now  oh just to help to get the horse going so along the river here there's actually some  hot springs there's I believe six on this side   and there's more on the other side so we'll go  there later today maybe around 5 yeah before   dinner I did see people take the horses all the  way kind of like down this path along the river   we just don't know how to do it it's kind of scary  so if you wanted to if you wanted to do a real   tour you probably could book it but this is this  is pretty cool right this is pretty cool right next year come back with a baby okay maybe maybe okay come back with five babies It got cold again so cold but  it's okay cuz it's hot spring time look at this isn't this wonderful perfect perfect setting okay oh I can feel the warmth okay it's pretty oh someone forgot their boxers huh how did he get back oh  yeah this is like a change room area and then the middle is like a shower yeah  a shower area but there's no shower but   you can use the bucket and in  here is the natural hot spring let's get changed yeah we only have 30  minutes in here so we should get changed oh it's hot it's really hot one two three wow you're brave it hurts it's tingly but now  better yeah now it's nice that's nice oh it's   so nice on the shoulders and the neck okay  takes a little while to adjust this is nice   I think for 250 KGS per person it's a very  good deal for 30 minutes yeah 30 minutes is   all we need yeah I don't think it's healthy for  you to be in this hot water even like more than   20 minutes but when you get too hot you have  to cool down so just outside us is the river   and we saw people doing a little bit  of a like a cold plunge thing we going   to do that I think we should it's  good for our health okay like now yeah yeah we should do it before I change  my mind okay okay 3 2 1 okay let's go oh I have something for you I have something   for you wait wait come back I'll go  bring it to them I just have like   this little thank you gift for the kids let me tuck you in want a second one yes please yes please you're doing a good job perfect this is  perfect want a third one no keep you warm   this is good I want to make sure you're  warm this is this is too heavy two is good this is heavy well that was a good trip yep  but tomorrow back to civilization who's going to turn off the light not me I'm under   three blankets I can't move you have  to turn off the light I know I got you oh smart Magic
