Kyrgyzstan is often cited as the Swiss Alps of Central Asia. It is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. From the glorious peaks of the Tian-Shan Range, to alpine lakes and forests, the country is full of breathtaking views. This landlocked country in Central Asia was once an important Silk Road route between Uzbekistan and China. With friendly locals and natural unspoiled land, I had a fun adventure hiking, learning the normadic culture and getting to hold a Golden Eagle!
