Reasons To
Visit Kyrgyzstan

  • Lakes

    Kyrgyzstan is home to two pristine and deep alpine lakes, Issyk-Kul which never freezes over and provides the main lakeside towns with a pleasant climate and Song-Kol, which although smaller is equally beautiful.

  • Mountains

    94% of Kyrgyzstan landscape is mountainous, with jagged, rugged, peaks towering above the flatter plains. Most of the peaks form part of the dramatic Tian Shan range which sweeps through Central Asia into China.

Traditional Yurt

Tash Rabat

The yurts here, as at Song Kol, are the genuine article. Some of the nomads have effectively turned their homes into mobile guesthouses, taking in guests during the summer months and displaying the hospitality for which they are famed.

The yurts are often decorated with traditional shyrdaks and fabrics. Be sure to wake early; the mountains are said to be at their best at dawn.
