Light and noise
As vivid the city Van is, so quiet is the surrounding land.
We'll bring a visit to the south-eastern part of the country, for not so many years ago a completely no-go area. Even today you get stopped by a military checkpoint on the way to Yüksekova and Hakkiri suspiciously asking you about your motives and your goal. Why are you visiting this area, where do you plan to stay? Of course they want to check your car to be sure you don't smuggle weapons or anything else.
Welcome to this beautiful part of the country near the Iranian and Iraqi borders, surrounded by the highest mountains (nearly all over 4,000m), impressive castles and endless skies in what looks like a true no man's land, except for the peregrinating nomads.
