Summary/Abstract: The titular motto: “The ethnographer enters uninvited” could be the first commandment in a decalogue of the ethnographer-field researcher, encouraging him to boldly enter the domain of examined communities. This postulate, however, carries a (difficult to predict) risk of contacts with dangerous persons and perilous terrains (e.g. high mountains). The author presented situations of this kind, which he experienced in the course of research carried out in Central Asia, described the ways in which he overcame assorted complications, and wrote about the cognitive benefits of such confrontations.
