Hamou Village

More recently, it was impossible to reach it, as it was in complete isolation from the rest of the world.
In this part of the country, winters are long and cold, so the tourist season in the village of Hemu opens only in June and ends in October. It is especially beautiful in this place at the beginning of summer, when the amazing local nature is just waking up, and the meadows are covered with a large number of flowers.
