Kyrgyzstan Guide
Kyrgyzstan Destination Guide |
Kyrgyzstan is a country known for it's sprawling mountain ranges, lushes green hills and farmlands. While sheep farmers work the hills day in and day out, Bishkek (the capital) is a bustling metropolis stuck in Soviet Union times. Kyrgyzstan is a sought after destination for backpackers looking for visa-free travel and a unique experience. The best time to see this diverse region is in the summer. With the vast majority of attractions being in the more rural areas and in the higher altitude, timing is everything. Hiking is one of the staples in this beautiful region. In the dead heat of the summer, Russians and locals flock to the lakeshore of Lake Issyk-Köl to cool down from the beating sun. The winter is a great time to visit if skiing and snowboarding is your top priority. Overall, Kyrgyzstan is a former Soviet State that has Islamic influence and Mongolian roots. Be sure to visit this vastly unique country on your next trip to Central Asia.
