Kyrgyzstan is one of the best-kept secrets of Central Asia. It is a magical land of snow-capped mountains that disappear into the clouds. The beauty of the alpine lakes with turquoise water, stunning gorges, glacial rivers and vast swathes of velvety grasslands dotted with wild horses and cattle grazing peacefully is surreal.
Located to the north of India, Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country but has the world’s second largest alpine lake, the Issyk-Kul.
All the paved roads on this tour were a part of the ancient Silk Route that was used for transporting silk and spices from China and India to the European continent. However, the real beauty of Kyrgyzstan reveals itself only when you venture off-road. So our route has a mix of paved and dirt road driving that takes you through breath-taking landscapes and mountain passes.
Activities like local horse games, carpet weaving, staying in a Yurt, (Central Asian round tent) and a folklore show will give you an enriching insight into the nomadic lifestyle of the Kyrgyz.
