CuriousCactus+FollowThe Walk That Never Ends: Asy Plateau, KazakhstanNobody tells you how long it really feels. The road to the old Soviet observatory on Asy Plateau isn’t just a hike—it’s a slow unraveling. The wind is sharp, the sky too big, and the silence almost hostile. You keep walking, convinced the dome will appear just over the next ridge. It never does. At some point, you stop checking your phone for signal. You start counting your steps, then lose count. You wonder if you’re lost, or if this is just what it means to be far from everything familiar. I took a photo, but it didn’t capture the ache in my legs or the way the emptiness pressed in. Maybe that’s why I never posted it. #Travel #TravelIsolation #KazakhstanDiaries10Share
