The yurt can be very simple and small. There is no electricity arriving so deep in the mountains. Some of the shepherds can afford a solar panel to get some light at night and listen to the news or music on the radio. No TV in those remote places. by: elisecolette Views[849]

The shepherds take their families to the jailoos. If not all their children, at least the youngest ones. Women are responsible for the yurt, turning it into a living place during the day and a sleeping room at night. They cook and help with the animals catering. by: elisecolette Views[552]

While it is a hard and sometimes lonely life, there is time for enjoying a good meal within the comforts of a yurt. The wife sits close to the kettle and pours a cup of tschai. Usually this is mixed with kumus (fermented horse milk) and sometimes some butter and salt. The self-baked bread, made in self built stone ovens, tastes best with some homemade marmalade or butter. As long as the meal lasts, the family seems to forget about life outside the yurt and the hardship of their lives. by: jeftedebruin Views[650]
