Holidays to Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan, or the Kyrgyz Republic as it is officially known, is blessed with extraordinary levels of unspoiled natural beauty. This little landlocked beauty in Central Asia is a world of towering craggy mountains, wide-open grasslands, glittering turquoise alpine lakes, and lush primal forests. The beaten path does not extend very far into Kyrgyzstan, and the country is an adventurous traveller’s dream. Get a taste of traditional nomadic life as you sleep under the stars in an authentic yurt camp, or experience the hospitality of the locals by making use of the extensive community homestay network, where every time you will be welcomed with a warm smile and a hearty meal. Unforgettable experiences abound, such as horse riding along the shores of Lake Son-Kul, venturing out to the remote Tash Rabat Caravanserai, and witnessing the unique practice of golden-eagle hunting at Bokonbaev Village. Although it feels like a wild destination, Kyrgyzstan is an easy entry point into Central Asia, with good flight connections between London and Bishkek, and visa-free travel for UK passport holders.
