Our group from the trip to Kyrgyzstan around Lake Issyk Kul, which departed on 26 June, has now returned, and the travellers share their impressions of the trip.

Useful information for future travellers to Kyrgyzstan: the highlights and drawbacks, as told by people who have been there.

Situated between the Uzbek deserts and the Kazakh steppes, Kyrgyzstan is popularly known as the “Switzerland of Asia”, home to two large mountain ranges such as Tien Shan and Pamir. Kyrgyzstan has always been a land of nomads, as shown by the many camps set up in the summer months, where we spend many nights during our treks.
