"A good way to intruduce you to Kyrgyzstan"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

As far as I can see this is the only dedicated guidebook to Kyrgyzstan. This is the third edition of the Bradt guide to this interesting, inspiring and relatively unknown country. Kyrgyzstan flies under most travellers radar but it is a beautiful country and while tourism is underdeveloped you can trek, alpine climb, horseback ride, sail in areas of unbelievable beauty where people are friendly and you feel safe. Also at time of writing there are few visa restrictions. The guide is in its third edition and while it has been updated it is little changed from what was recorded in the first edition. In particular, Bishkek has changed dramatically in the last three years and “places to go” may have closed, changed ownership or changed out of recognition. Use the guide as an overview don't expect to find what is written.

Description

Deep within central Asia, Kyrgyzstan's beautiful mountainscapes, dreamlike rock formations and semi-nomadic culture are gloriously unspoiled. A trip here can be as adventurous as you please: admire 5,000-year-old petroglyphs at Saimaluu-Tash, gallop on horseback through the rugged Ala-Archa Canyon, visit Bishkek's Soviet-era statues or simply laze on the shores of the vast Lake Issyk-Kul. Now in its third edition, this remains the only English-language guide dedicated solely to Kyrgyzstan. It offers in-depth coverage of historical background, health, safety and transport, plus author recommendations on the best yurt camps and chaikhanas. Join Laurence Mitchell on a magnificent journey through the country's remote Silk Road villages, ancient conifer forests and rolling alpine meadows.
