5 Reasons To Travel To Kyrgyzstan

By: Alex De Mostafa

If you are trying to find five reasons to travel to Kyrgyzstan, you will need to do some research as the information is not easy to find. Kyrgyzstan officially called the Kyrgyz Republic, is a small country in Central Asia. Kyrgyzstan has China to the East, Uzbekistan is located to the west, to the north is Kazakhstan and the southwest lands of the Kyrgyz Republic are bordered by Tajikistan.

Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous region with the nickname of the Switzerland of Asia. The Tien Shan mountains cover over 90% of the lands of Kyrgyzstan. Bishkek is the capital and largest city in Kyrgyzstan, with more than 900,000 people. Bishkek is a multi-cultural city and its streets are filled with brightly colored cafes and bazaars full of fruits and vegetables and imported items from China and Pakistan.

The 5 reasons to travel to Kyrgyzstan that I have discovered are listed below. Prior to traveling it would be a good to research the Kyrgyzstan to learn about the traditions and culture of the country.

Five Reasons to Travel to Kyrgyzstan

1. Love of Adventure - Visiting Kyrgyzstan is not for the weak at heart. It is a country of wild beauty and extremes. There are risks to traveling to Kyrgyzstan but that risk is part of the appeal to many who choose to visit.

2. Beautiful Mountain Scenery - Over 90% of Kyrgyzstan is mountainous and rugged terrain. Visitors with a sense of adventure can discover the beauty of Kyrgyzstan's mountain range. Skiing is available a few miles from the capital city of Bishkek.

3. Lake Issyk-Kul - There are many mountain lakes in Kyrgyzstan, but the most magnificent is Lake Issyk-Kul, the largest lake in Kyrgyzstan, and one of the largest lakes on the globe. A trip to Kyrgyzstan is not complete without a trip to Lake Issyk-Kul to revel in its natural beauty.

4. Unique Sporting Events - Ulak Tartysh, a cross between polo and rugby where two teams on horses fight for the possession of the headless body of a goat, which they then try to carry across the opposing team's line. Many of these sports played in Kyrgyzstan are performed on horseback. A lover's game, Kys Kuumai is a sport where a man chases a woman to win a kiss from her as she rides away; if he is not successful, the woman may then come after him and try to hit him with her horse whip. A Chabysh is another popular sport involving a long distance horse race.

5. Horseback Riding - Since gas is so expensive in Kyrgyzstan, horseback riding is a popular form of travel. This can be a great experience for people who love to ride horses, since they can travel to places in Kyrgyzstan that motor vehicles cannot.

Visiting Kyrgyzstan can be an exciting experience for the adventuresome soul who wishes to travel to an untamed land. Reading over the five reasons to travel to Kyrgyzstan can help you decide if this would be an experience that you would enjoy.
