Visit one of the many cemeteries along the road. As the Kyrgyz people are nomads, they never have a fixed place to stay.
Only once they are dead, the relatives build a grave in a form of a house; these graves are always near a road, so the deceased can watch the other nomads travel on.
The richer the family, the bigger and more beautiful the graves become. In front you see a typical Kyrgyz grave in the form of a Yurt made of iron work, the Yurt is the typical tent used by the nomads.
