ForastrophotographerSoumyadeep Mukherjee, Kyrgyzstan is a gold mine.
The barren lands, mountains, grasslands, canyons, it seemed like a package of landscapes.
It gave us almost all the varieties one could ask for.
This winning combo made Mukherjee even more curious about the lack of photography coming out of Kyrgyzstan.
A country that has so much potential for astrophotography has remained comparatively less explored.
To Mukherjee, in terms of landscapes, Kyrgyzstan provides an all-in-one experience.
This was an experience I would never forget.
Kyrgyzstan has a very low population density which makes the country a heaven for finding dark skies.
There are ample Bortle 1 and 2 regions around the country.
For astrophotographer Soumyadeep Mukherjee, Kyrgyzstan is a gold mine for his craft.
It gave us almost all the varieties one could ask for.
