Often referred to as “the Switzerland of Central Asia”, Kyrgyzstan is known for its great, unspoiled natural beauty of high-altitude lakes, glaciers and Alpine scenery. This mountainous country offers many spectacular landscapes to explore and it's the perfect destination for trekking and camping.
It is impossible to talk about Kyrgyzstan without mentioning some of the nomadic traditions that make the Kyrgyz so proud to be who they are. The traditional sports reflect the importance of horse riding while the komuz - an ancient fretless string instrument - gives Central Asian music its sound. For cuisine, the most popular traditional dishes include the Kyrgyztani plov, lagman and manti. Taste Kyrgyzstan's national alcoholic bevrage kumiz, which is essentially fermented mare's milk.
