#2 in this retrospective of favourite images from 2025. These are all Kyrgyzstan (do you get the feeling I liked it there?!)

1. Lenin Peak, Kyrgyzstan. One of the easiest 7000+m mountains to climb (apparently, I didn’t go up there) and often used a training ground for Everest.

2. Isla and her friend Matilda walking back to the truck after a morning of “homeschooling” that involved a hike up to a viewpoint, artwork in the wildness and clambering over rocks and boulders to learn about mountain safety. The rainbow mountains make a spectacular backdrop!

3. Jess and Otis. This was shot on our way up the Kumtor Gold Mine Route. Captured as a marketing image for Kovered Bags (use code “GLOBALTRACES” for 15% off their bags… which make awesome Christmas presents!)

4. Crossing a dried up high altitude lake to one of the best park up spots we’ve had … so great we visited twice and spent about 4 days there in total. The park up is unofficially titled “Desert Rock Dream” in iOverlander (an App we use to find parking places) and it really is an incredible out of the way dreamscape place to hang out.

5. The night before we crossed in to Tajikistan (the other side of those mountains in the background) we parked next to a dried river bed. Fortunately we didn’t park in the river bed, because not long after this was taken the meltwater from the mountains decided to flow through turning a dry river bed to a raging torrent! Before that though, Isla was in her element playing out in the wilds.

Which is your favourite from this set?
