Photo: Traditional yurt making in Kara-Koo

One family in Kara-Koo continues the tradition of making yurts, traditional Kyrgyz homes, which they sell to locals (many of whom still spend the summer months in yurts) as well as foreigners. This is their yurt workshop. On the right is a pile of raw wool, which they will turn into felt to make the walls and roofs of various yurts.
