Bishkek, Jan. 8, 2019. /Kabar/. The Guardian British newspaper has included Kyrgyzstan in the hot list of places, where you need to go on vacation in 2019.
In its description of the country, the newspaper notes that Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked mountainous country in Central Asia, which has huge areas of pristine wilderness, where semi-nomadic people still hunt with golden eagles.
“Visitors can witness this tradition at Issyk Köl, a vast lake surrounded by snowy peaks, which is also a Unesco biosphere reserve. Serious hikers and climbers will enjoy a new 506-mile network of trails in the country, many starting from the lake. The word “new” refers to their use by international trekkers; many of these pastoral paths have been used for millennia. The large village of Kochkor, west of Issyk Köl, makes a good base for walkers, with several trails that take in passes higher than 4,000 metres. Most of the routes pass yurt camps, and hikers might be invited in to join shepherds and their families for a cup of kymyz, fermented mare’s milk, or a shot of vodka,” the article says.
