These are some of our favorite things to do in Kyrgystan. Discuss incorporating some of these ideas into your own travel itinerary.

In Bishkek, the young capital and gateway to the modern republic, walk the tree-lined streets and use the city as a base for visits to the nearby Ala-Archa Nature Reserve…ski the glaciers…summit the region's highest peak…soak in the thermal springs…fish for trout in Lake Issikul in the Tien Shan Mountains, the second largest alpine lake in the world…travel the overland route between Bishkek and Kashgar in China via the Torugart Pass, virtually unknown to westerners.
