I have been recently watching an arduous but beautiful journey of a youtuber biker travelling via Afganistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan Kazakhistan, Russia, Mangolia to Japan. The central Asia is beautiful with landscape we have only seen in pictures or paintings. The mountains, lakes and steppe are awesome. The remoteness itself is so pleasing and peaceful that one wishes to stay back there. At the same time these countries are reasonably developed with well to do people, great roads, and good facilities for visitors and tourists even in remote places. Most surprising had been an observation that so beautiful, vastnesses, lake and mountains, but none of them being worshipped by locals or cluttered with places of worship or dedicated to local deities. People go there only to look, appreciate and enjoy the raw nature. In contrast I never understood here in India why every place of natural wonder whether mountain, cave, lake must get dedicated to some deity and compulsorily must be a place of worship to be of any relevance for visiting it. Raw nature as it is given to us seems loses all meaning here.
