"If only Jocubai would not outdistance us all the time. As though glued to his saddle he trots along ... Our beasts seem starved; they are always wanting to stop and browse, and we have continually to urge them on in an attempt to circumvent their efforts."

Ella Maillart's dark-maned horse lowers its head under an overcast sky to graze on the field grass and keep energised during a rest stop along the Tian Shen mountain trek. 

It is outfitted with a specialised pack saddle which is heavily loaded with canvas bags or gear secured tightly across its back to evenly balance weight.

1/ Kyrgyzstan's Deputy Finance Minister called us "spreaders of disinformation about foreign debt." Fine. Then let's put the facts on the table. Every number we cite is the government's own. #kyrgyzstan #chinadebttrap🧵

'A Kyrgyz Boy and His Mother', Ella Maillart, 1932

"Since 1916, many attempts have been made to wean them from their nomadic lives and settle them in colonies founded by Russians. But they show little interest in cultivating the earth. ..."

 'A Kyrgyz Boy and His Mother', Ella Maillart, 1932

A woman weaves a 'terme' - patterned tapestry - using camel wool in the Tian Shan region of Kyrgyzstan. Her young son in a heavy winter coat and plush fur hat stands nearby watching the traditional craft process. 

Ground looms like this were portable and well-suited for nomadic lifestyles. They were most frequently used to weave long, incredibly durable yurt bands. These decorative and functional structural straps wrapped tightly around the wooden lattice frames of yurts to protect them against fierce high-altitude winds.

"As we pass through the small Kirghiz villages, I notice a small semicircular brown yurt standing by every house. By no means all the natives have taken to a sedentary life. They stifle between four walls ..."

A nomadic Kyrgyz family with their traditional dwellings - portable circular tents made of felt and lattice wood known as yurts or gers - at a high-altitude mountain pasture (known locally as a jailoo), Sary-Chat camp, Er-Tash valley, Tian-Shan mountains.

The woman is wearing a traditional Central Asian head covering known as a kimeshek, a white fabric wimple historically worn by married Kazakh and Kyrgyz women.

This image is permanently displayed at the historical museum in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan.

Descent from the Ak-Bel Pass and further to the Borkoldoi Too ridge in the east, Tian Shan Mountains, Ella Maillart, 1932.

Riders and pack animals traverse a rocky valley in the Tian Shan mountains (often historically referred to as the Celestial Mountains or Tenir-Too) in Kyrgyzstan, likely near the Jangart Pass.

Today, copies of this specific historic print and other photographs from her 1932 expedition are permanently preserved as part of the regional archives and showcased at the Karakol Historical Museum in Kyrgyzstan.
