🇰🇬Kyrgyzstan is also famously known as the Switzerland of Central Asia, and they are not wrong. With an average elevation 2,600m, the country is scattered full of beautiful, and untouched nature. We travelled Kyrgyzstan during September 2024, and here are our tips. Day 1: Explore Bishkek Bishkek is the capital city with a population of 1 million people. Explore: - Ala Too Square - Victory Square - Osh Bazaar Day 2-3: Take in the largest lake in Kyrgyzstan - Issyk Kul Head on down to the south of Issyk Kul lake.

Here you can explore: - Golden Eagle Hunting 🦅 - Skazka Canyon Day 4: Karakol - the base for the next few days Karakol is the second largest city in Kyrgyzstan and is also a great base for few hikes around the area. Day 5-7: Ala Kul Lake OR Altyn Arshan 🥾 If hiking is your thing, why not hike to one of the most beautiful lakes, with a distance of 50km over 3 days, it is tough but well worth it. OR stay in a guesthouse or yurt camp in Altyn Arshan, to really enjoy the nomadic life and the picturesque green windows backdrop. Day 8-10: Naryn and the Kel Suu Lake 🏔️ Naryn can be your base to head to Kel Suu Lake (or you can also join a tour from Bishkek). Stay in a yurt camp along the Kok-Kiya Valley and head to Kel Suu Lake to witness a beautiful blue turquoise lake against dramatic grey cliffs. Day 11-13: Horse ride around Song Kul Lake 🐎 Horse trek around Song Kul Lake and stay in truely nomadic yurt camps, unplugged for 3 whole days. This is truly an experience.
