The Kyrgyz Republic is a country of nomads and mountains of heaven

Today, the Kyrgyz Republic is the most comfortable country in the region for foreign tourists due to its open skies, visa-free policy and the absence of a language barrier. In addition, there are fiscal and administrative incentives to attract foreign direct investment in the tourism industry.

The most popular tourist routes pass along the Great Silk Road. Here you will see places described in many historical chronicles. These are, for example, the Burana Tower in the Chuy region, the Tash-Rabat caravanserai in the Naryn region, the Sulaiman-Too sacred mountain in Osh city and the Uzgen minaret in Uzgen city. UNESCO has officially added 3 sites of the Kyrgyz Republic to its World Heritage List.

The Kyrgyz people still preserve the nomadic values and traditions that their ancestors honored many centuries ago. They unite modern Kyrgyz people and help them strengthen family ties. You can join this unique culture: spend the night in a yurt on a mountain jailoo under the bright starry sky, ride a horse, watch traditional horse games of nomads, enjoy delicious and unusual food, try the healthy drink “kymyz” (mare’s milk). Any traveler or tourist can stay in both authentic traditional yurts and modern ones with comfortable living conditions.
