Bradt's Kyrgyzstan remains the only English-language guide
dedicated solely to this astounding country, described as 'the
Switzerland of central Asia' and regarded by many as the most
beautiful country in the world. This new, thoroughly updated fourth
edition further extends its comprehensive coverage of all the
country has to offer, including trekking, mountaineering, horse
riding, historical sites, festivals and Kyrgyz culture. All the
most recent information on all the major towns and visitor hubs is
included, along with suggested itineraries and details of natural
history and conservation issues. Feature boxes throughout the text
give further cultural detail on Kyrgyz society, while all budgets
are catered for with traveller information covering all options
from low-cost to luxury, as well as extensive detail on travel by
public transport throughout the country. 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 alpine meadows
that surround 3,016m-high Lake Song-Koel, go trekking in the
mountain valleys that lie south of Karakol, visit Bishkek's
Soviet-era statues or simply laze on the shores of the vast Lake
Issyk-Kul. Kyrgyzstan has it all: glorious mountain scenery, a rich
nomadic tradition, Silk Road monuments and thrilling wildlife. It
also remains an intriguing, little known but easily accessible
country for travellers. With in-depth coverage of historical
background, health, safety and transport, plus author
recommendations on the best yurt camps and chaikhanas, Bradt's
Kyrgyzstan is the ideal companion for a successful trip.
