IMMENSE NATURAL BEAUTY
A place where proud nomadic traditions meet an unspoiled and immense natural beauty – think rolling meadows and conifer forests, alpine lakes and some of the tallest peaks in the world.
Kyrgyzstan is slowly but surely appearing on the radars of intrepid travellers seeking new adventures in offbeat destinations. Bordering Uzbekistan to the west, Kazakhstan to the north, Tajikistan to the southwest and China to the southeast, this centuries-old landlocked nation makes a great gateway into Central Asia.
Dominated by the exquisite Tian Shan mountain range (a magnet for climbers), the vistas alone are reason enough to visit. The towering peaks of the Tian Shan make way for lush pine forests, glistening blue lakes and vast summer pastures where you’ll find nomadic encampments and herders tending to their sheep and goats. Unsurprisingly, the trekking and horse riding opportunities are superb, with the ability to walk and canter for miles through verdant fields and wildflower-strewn valleys.
As well as introducing you to the most epic walking and riding trails, our experts will help you to take in some of Kyrgyzstan’s essential sights, from the sprawling Osh Bazaar in Bishkek to the 15th-century stone caravanserai of Tash Rabat – a true relic of the Silk Road. On the shores of the glorious alpine lake of Song-Kul, you can overnight in a nomadic yurt – a great way to experience the warm hospitality and semi-nomadic lifestyle of the Kyrgyz people.
