  • In this video I summed up the best things to do in Kyrgyzstan for you based on my 2 week lasting trip to Tian Shan mountains in the west of the country.

    I spent more than 2 weeks in Kyrgyzstan working together with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the local tourism board to show you an interesting mix of the best things to do in Kyrgyzstan from outdoor adventures and cultural insights to overwhelming food experiences.
    Beside checking out the local attractions I got the chance to stay like a local in a yurt camp, went hiking with locals and horse trekking like a true nomad ;)
    Even though I spent quite some time in the country I could only focus on the western part and couldn’t go as deep into the mountains as I wanted to as the infrastructure isn’t as developed yet.
    This trip was executed within 15 days - following I list all the places I visited & Things to do in Kyrgyzstan:
    - Alamuu Yurt Camp
    - Karakol
    - Issyk-Kul lake
    - Bokonbaevo
    - Dungan family dinner
    - Tian Shan mountains
    - Jyrgalan / Jergalan
    - Jolgolot trek
    - Boz Uchuk lake & Boz Uchuk trek
    - Bishkek
    - local nomad camps
    - About my Cooperation with UASAID & Discover Kyrgyzstan -
    This trip was made possible by the support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents are the sole responsibility of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government.
    Discover Kyrgyzstan helped me plan the logistics. But overall I was free to create my very own itinerary with all the freedom needed. Nevertheless all opinions, recommendations and views are my own.

      Really - I was like "I eat way too much here, but it is way too good as well". On the plus side I bet you felt less guilty feasting after the trek, eh? ;) Sad we missed each other this time. Need to catch up soon!

    • @ThePlanetD
      @ThePlanetD Před 6 lety +1

      Oh yeah! We lost a lot of weight which was awesome! hahaha. One night when we hiked to the lake, we came back and just had some canned fish, tomatoes, cucumber and bread. No feast waiting for us. They probably thought we needed to lose a few pounds. :) Hopefully we'll see you somewhere in the world soon!

    Hello, was just wondering if you could stay with locals in urban cities and villages, more like a bed and breakfast in this country?? I think the best way to see a place is to see it with locals and stay with locals, and yes also eat what the locals eat, although that may be a bit of a problem with my vegan lifestyle. Good wishes from Canada.
