It was near Karakul lake… An adventure that took at least five hours. Trying to pitch my tent when a sandstorm was coming towards me. Protecting my stuff with my tent cover and me on top. Waiting till the storm passes by. After half an hour I tried it a second time, again the storm was faster. Third time’s the charm! Fast, faster, fastest. I managed to pitch my tent at a record rate and jumped into my safe shelter, no time for putting off my shoes. The sand was like hail on my tent and this for hours. In the evening, around 7 pm, it was suddenly noiseless, no wind, no nothing. It almost heard my ears. A M A Z I N G ! What an experience, what an afternoon! Unforgettable #karakul #tajikistan
