We arrived in the village of Zhabagyly which is the hop-off point into the Aksu Nature Reserve. The diversity of life in this area, where mountains meet steppe, is fascinating with even brown bears and snow leopards! In Zhabagyly we walked for a few hundred meters into the grasslands and enjoyed the amazing weather and scenery.
