Kyrgyzstan is a country of stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage and warm hospitality. It is a land of alpine pastures, excellent riders, eagle hunting, yurts and magical rock formations.
We spent 10 days in Kyrgyzstan and visited many of its famous places.
Located in the heart of Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan borders Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and China.
Our plan was to visit the following places: the capital Bishkek, Ala Archa National Park, Burana Tower in Shamsy Valley, Cholpon Ata, Semenovka Valley, Karakol, Skazka Canyon, then over the Kalmak-Ashuu mountain pass to the camp with yurts on Song Kul Lake, Naryn and the Tash Rabat Caravan Saray.
As nature lovers, we were enchanted by the country's breathtaking landscapes that provide the perfect backdrop for hiking, trekking, horseback riding and camping.
We experienced the hospitality of Kyrgyz nomads while staying in yurts, traditional nomadic dwellings and enjoyed authentic Kyrgyz cuisine. We attended nomad games and hunting with eagles that show the traditions and sports of this country.
Although the culture of Kyrgyzstan is strongly influenced by the traditions of nomadic life, it also has influences from Russia, Persia and Turkey. Geographically isolated by its mountainous location, it played an important role as part of the historic Silk Road trade route.
