So, anyone could freely go there, collect nuts and sell them. But nowadays it\u2019s split to small patches, each one being private, rented to local families. Therefore, we were only allowed to walk on the small pathways between the patches. Some of the families are, at least partly, moving to the forest for the harvest season and putting up tents on their patches. We got to watch the locals collecting nuts and herding their animals in the forest. It was a fascinating thing to see and the forest itself was beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On our way back we stumbled upon Lea and Kay in the forest. They were just about to go on a tour at the village\u2019s own walnut oil factory. We decided to join them. It was interesting to learn a little bit about the village\u2019s history and the communal work there. We also learned things about making oil, like what\u2019s the actual difference between normal and cold pressed oil. The cold oil press was donated to the owner by a German NGO to give the possibility to produce locally high-quality walnut oil. He was getting it under the condition that people can press small amounts up to 9 Kilogram in the first 5 years for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1013\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090977.jpg\" alt=\"The old machine, which is heating during the oil making and therefore burning a part of the oil\" class=\"wp-image-1926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090977.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090977-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090977-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090977-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1013px) 100vw, 1013px\" \/><figcaption>The old machine, which is heating during the oil making and therefore burning a part of the oil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1013\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090978.jpg\" alt=\"The new machine, which is able to make the cold pressed oil\" class=\"wp-image-1927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090978.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090978-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090978-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090978-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1013px) 100vw, 1013px\" \/><figcaption>The new machine, which is able to make the cold pressed oil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaving Arslanbop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had originally planned to stay a second day in Arslanbop. After a successful day of sightseeing we anyhow decided that we were already ready to leave the next morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the morning we took a marshrutka to Bazaar Korgon with Lea and Kay. From there another marshrutka to Jalalabad. And from there another one to Osh. It took about 4 hours to reach Osh. The city looked green and inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ps: The CBT in Arslanbop is always looking for volunteers. If you would like to spend some weeks in a nice Kyrgyz village and work for free accommodation, you can contact the very helpful and friendly coordinator Mr. Hayat Tarikov:
