Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan is rugged even by Central Asian standards, with a serrated backbone of mountains that have shaped the culture of a fiercely independent people known for their hospitality. The terrain varies from the almost subtropical Fergana Valley, on the border between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, to Lake Issyk Kul, a beautiful alpine region offering some of the best hiking and trekking in Central Asia. You could explore the city of Osh – often described as being older than Rome – wander through the markets of the capital Bishkek, or find yourself drinking fermented horse milk with a shepherd high in the Tian Shan mountains.
