Very few people will have visited Kyrgyzstan, which is a shame for many reasons. In this article we want to show why the country should be on your bucket list. But first a few key data about Kyrgyzstan. The country is located in Central Asia and is a landlocked country. Thus, it has no access to the open sea. The country borders China, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Kyrgyzstan has about 6.5 million inhabitants and the currency is called Som. The capital is Bishkek. Find here our 6 reasons to travel to Kyrgyzstan:
Untouched nature
Kyrgyzstan offers an incredibly beautiful and untouched nature. Over mountains and lakes over gorges and endless steppes, the country has everything to offer. Who has always wanted to hike or ride through a unique natural landscape is exactly right here.
Away from mass tourism
Travel away from mass tourism. Even though tourism in Kyrgyzstan is becoming more and more developed, the country is still certainly an insider tip and is therefore away from mass tourism.
Nomadic life
Experience the nomadic life. Kyrgyzstan is known for its nomadic tribes and a visit to the country allows you to immerse yourself in this life. Whether it is helping to build a yurt or watching a nomad and his eagle hunting together. Who dares, can even hold the eagle on the arm.
Abandoned ghost towns
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, some places have been abandoned. This allows us to visit these ghost towns today. Certainly not an everyday experience.
Issyk-Kul
Visit the Issyk-Kul! The lake is the second largest mountain lake on earth and really impressive. Although it gets as low as -20 degrees in the winter, the lake never freezes. The lake is located about 1,600 meters above sea level.
Hot springs
If you like to relax in warm or hot springs after a great day out in nature, then Kyrgyzstan is the destination for you.
