At the base of Muztagh Ata in Xinjiang, China-where approximately 1.5 million Kazakhs live, a Kazakh woman sits in her yurt, pulling raw wool for weaving. The base camp sits at an altitude of 4,400 to 4,450 meters above sea level, near the convergence of the Pamir, Kunlun, Tian Shan, and Hindu Kush ranges. Accessible via the Karakoram Highway, the area lies roughly 190 kilometers from the Pakistani border at the Khunjerab Pass #travelphotography #travelportrait #China #PRC #Xinjiang #mountainpeople #Kazakh #Muztaghata #Pamirs #film #analog #provia #LeicaM7
