Kyrgyzstan Holidays
Squeezed between Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and China, and occupying much of the Tien Shan mountain range, Kyrgyzstan is a nation known for its spectacular alpine scenery, crystal-clear lakes, excellent walking and unrivalled hospitality. Our Kyrgyzstan holidays tend to start in Bishkek. The Kyrgyz capital, is a city of monumental avenues and large Soviet buildings framed by a ring of snow-capped peaks, however, it is in the country’s rural regions that the essence of Kyrgyzstan is best experienced. Issyk-Kul Lake is remarkable and the surrounding region supports a vast variety of wildlife including snow leopard, wild boar and ibex. The nearby petroglyphs at Cholpon-Ata are a fascinating diversion whilst visits can also be made to Ala Archa National Natural Park and Karakol to explore the spectacular gorge of the same name.
