This was shot in the Kyrgyz lands of the Wakhan Corridor. On the right we notice a television and a sound console. These tribes live weeks away from any village by foot. In spite of being located at an altitude of 4,300 meters in one of the most remote areas of Afghanistan they are equipped with solar panels, satellite dishes and cellphones. Ancestral ways of living, with touches of modernity. (Cedric Houin/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
