Kyrgyzstan packs a powerful adventurous punch for such a small country. With tremendous mountain ranges, cavernous valleys and gorges, stunning glaciers and ice blue lakes blending with alpine flatlands, grassy hills studded with pretty wildflowers and unique forests of blue fir trees, this is certainly an exhilarating destination little known to the rest of the world. Hike through the traditional mountain homelands of yurt-dwelling nomadic shepherds and tread the paths beaten out by sheep and horses over myriads of years of high altitude summer grazing. Marvel at the wonders of the Kyrgyz-Alatau glaciers and the deep gorges of the Alamedin and Tuyuk Rivers. Try the national fermented drink, spot Golden Eagles, enjoy legendary hospitality and explore the sights of the capital Bishkek.
