Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country in Central Asia, and is a mountainous country where the Tian Shan mountain range occupies most of the country.

The Kyrgyz Republic is a country characterized by its magnificent mountains and natural beauty, as well as its friendly Kyrgyz people. In particular, the Tien Shan mountain range that stretches across southern Kyrgyzstan is an environment that is ideal for mountain climbing and trekking. The capital, Bishkek, is a cultural and historical center, and a city that combines tradition and modernity, with a strong influence from the Silk Road. The nomadic culture is still alive and well, and you can experience life on the vast grasslands and stay in a traditional ger (yurt). Kyrgyzstan is also a country with a rich variety of local cuisine, including dishes made with sheep, and you can expect to receive a warm welcome.

Customer Testimonials

People Icons Ms. MS
option6 July 20245 days of horse riding and enjoying Kyrgyz culture in the village of Chong Kemin, at the beautiful Son Kol Lake in Tian Shan

I was a little under the weather in Kazakhstan, but I recovered after eating the delicious food at the Ash Guest House, and I was able to enjoy the rest of my schedule.

The horseback riding at Songkhla Lake was also a very enjoyable experience, thanks to the calm nature of the horses and the support of the horse owner who accompanied us.

Above all, Nuriya-san’s Japanese was very good, and she was like an older sister who was close to my age, so I was able to trust her very much.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Nagaoka for his help with arranging the trip and responding to my inquiries in advance. (I apologize for asking you so many detailed questions and causing you trouble.)

Thank you very much!
