Once a nation of nomads, today’s Kyrgyzstan is dotted with yurts only in summer. For most of the year, Kyrgyz shepherds live settled lives in the valleys, but from June to September, when the lowlands are arid, they move to summer mountain pastures, known as jailoo. In June 2019 I drove around the Kyrgyz steppe and mountains, documenting everyday life of Kyrgyz summer nomads. I spent a couple of days with Umutkor Nazarova and her family on a summer pasture near Song Kul Lake, catching glimpses of jailoo life. Here, Umutkor is milking her cows at sunset, with her family yurt camp in the background.
