One horse, one guide and one petroglyphs


We spent another day in Kochkor after our return from Song-Kol, we had read about another jailoo valley called Sarala-Saz and that there were petroglyphs about a three hour hike up the valley. We hired a driver and arranged for a local to meet us to take us up. What we got was a great day but not quite what we signed up for.
When we arrived at the yurt camp to meet our "guide" he indicated that he wanted to take a horse while we walked, far enough not everyone likes hiking, so we set out, up, up for about an hour when we arrived at a single petroglyphs. The guide pointed it out and then said okay and proceeded to take a nap for just around one hour. 
Although it was not quite what we expected, we had packed a picnic and enjoyed the beautiful views whilst he napped. 
We then hiked down and after some obligatory kymys and tea we were off again back to Kochkor for our last night.
