Nature & Landscape

Kyrgyzstan is more than 90% mountains, dominated by the Tien Shan and Pamir ranges. It’s home to alpine lakes, wide open pastures, and some of the best trekking, horseback riding, and camping in Asia.

Culture & People

Kyrgyzstan has a proud nomadic culture that dates back thousands of years. Traditional yurts, horse games, felt-making, and music are still central to life in the countryside. Travellers are often invited to share a meal or tea — hospitality here isn’t just a custom, it’s a way of life.

History

Once part of the ancient Silk Road, Kyrgyzstan has a deep historical legacy. You can visit old caravanserais, petroglyphs, and monuments that tell stories of trade, conquest, and resilience. After gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Kyrgyzstan has developed into a peaceful and democratic republic with a unique cultural blend of Turkic, Persian, Russian, and nomadic influences.
