ABOUT ME:
Hi! My name is Elena. I’m currently living in Russia but I can’t imagine my life without travel. I visit off the beaten track destinations (in Russia and beyond) to explore different cultures and ways of living, connect to the wisdom of nature, and learn about myself. Let’s go on this adventure together ♥

Did you encounter any wild animals during that hike?

@@taasmr4203 that hike - no, but I saw some mountain goats and foxes in Kyrgyzstan

I have to, once! Central Asia is my H U G E travel dream. 😍

[@nathanmiller5658]

What a beautiful video, created a very dear price ... 11 hours of hiking 3000-4000 meters above sea level! We all really appreciate the great lengths (and heights) you go to Elena. Bringing us spectacular images from some of the most exotic lands on the planet, of which Kyrgystan is a shining example.

[@elenastravels]

Hey, Nathan! It's always a pleasure to show you these places - hope it brings you joy and inspiration 🙂

[@JeffSchwenke]

Thanks for showing us the beautiful landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, Elena.

[@elenastravels]

You're welcome, Jeff 😊

Природа Кыргызтана завораживает, озеро и горы восхищают и вдохновляют. Жизнь прекрасна! Спасибо Леночка, что дала нам возможность полюбоваться и увидеть все это!

[@elenastravels]

Это правда ♥

[@RaulEndymionOfHyperion]

Yeah, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and really most of the stans have been on the list for a while now, and i like videos this because I can get a nice preview and discover places i hadn't thought about before. Nice filming as always.

[@elenastravels]

Agree! Need to visit more -stan countries 😎 I am glad you like this video and it was useful 🙂

[@Nish_18]

Another great country with wonderful landscapes!

[@elenastravels]

Yes 🏔❤

[@demetriusvolkodav4923]

Dearest Lenochka always introducing beautiful natural places for us to discover together! You should be proud of yourself, as your hiking muscles have improved over the past couple of years😊. Was your oxygen intake OK at that elevation or was your beathing labored? The scenery is breathtaking, and Karakol was very appealing. Thanks again😊.

[@elenastravels]

Glad you liked the places I showed you 🤗 it was a little harder to breathe closer to the peak, but not by a lot 🙂

[@chrisgiles606]

Yes, Elena, you should be justifiably proud to have completed that arduous trek to Ala Kul Lake. At an elevation of 3,800 metres, it is hardly surprising you felt breathless, but then the reward! That breathtaking scenery! I should also convey congratulations for the video imagery you captured with your drone, adding to, and enhancing the whole experience conveyed in your vlog.

[@elenastravels]

Hey, Chris! Yes, it was quite a challenge 🥲 Really glad you liked the drone shots!

[@chrisgiles606]

Great work, Elena. You have an ability to learn new skills very quickly!@@elenastravels

[@jwv6985]

Hello Elena! Great to see you again. And great to see another episode from you. So beautiful, and the country is very nice too. 😉

[@elenastravels]

Hey! Yes, it's been awhile 🙂 It is a very beautiful country indeed

[@herbertcourtesie2459]

Thank you for sharing your adventures, and specially, your thoughts during the hike. Valuable lessons learned and internalized! Also, I identified the powerful effect of splashing fresh water on you. Tip: on the crown of head and the upper neck will do wonders. Water serves as interface between energy of sunlight and magnetic bodies, easying absorbtion . Best to you! ☀🤗

[@elenastravels]

For me hiking is like therapy - so many insights and answers come to my mind. Yes, that water is truly healing! 💖 Interesting tip, thank you for sharing 🙂

[@herbertcourtesie2459]

@@elenastravels During an episode in the park forest in Yekaterinburg, you sought contact, Nature responded with light rain, followed by downpour. Then I learned that YOu are One with Nature. All the Elements were present within and about YOU. That is blessed Power manifested. Since, you are a Higher Elena in my world.

[@Ajajambo]

As always beautiful Alena ❤ with stunning landscapes. Thank you for bringing us on your journey. I felt in love with Kolsai lake after watching your hike and ended up going there. Kyrgyzstan is on my hit list now 😊

[@elenastravels]

Wow, I am glad my videos inspired you to visit that place! ⛰

[@Ajajambo]

[@NomadicNaturePhotographer]

*SO BEAUTIFUL...* I've always wanted to visit Kyrgyzstan... wonder, how much would it cost, to travel there from Belarus (where I am now). I *hope* they do have some Vegan options there at Karakol.❤

[@elenastravels]

Hope you'll visit this beautiful country one day! I am sure you can find something vegan 🙂

Nice video! I'll be travelling there this year and would like to know how did you bring a drone into Kyrgyzstan? I thought it's banned nationwide 🤔

[@richardbates895]

Hi Elena! I'm really glad you decided to go on this hike, It's so very beautiful there! I'm sure it was difficult, but the reward of seeing the lake, had to be worth the hike. Thanks so much for sharing, Merry Christmas!!

[@elenastravels]

Hi Richard! Yes, I am also really glad that I went! Merry Christmas 🙂🎄

It's like Kazakhstan but smaller

I don’t know, this country is pretty unique 🙂

@@elenastravels it's a really nice video you made! the lake at the top of the mountain looks like the glacier lakes in Banff Alberta, Canada - but the ones you went to were far more remote

@@Joe-pl5fc glad you think so! I also thought it looked like Canada 🏔
