Nature Tourism in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan boasts some of the highest peaks in the former Soviet Union, including Khan Tengri, Pobeda, and Lenin (Ibn Sina) Peaks. But you don’t need to be a seasoned climber to enjoy these breathtaking landscapes. The country’s natural beauty is accessible to all, whether through scenic hikes or horseback rides through Chon-Kemin, the whimsical  Skazka (Fairytale) Canyon, or the vibrant Jety-Oguz (Seven Bulls) Canyon. Picnicking in the gorges of Chickhkan, Boom, and Grigorievka, or embarking on a day trip from Bishkek to the striking Ala-Archa Canyon with its picturesque waterfall, guarantees a feast for the eyes.

For those seeking quieter, lesser-known escapes, Kyrgyzstan has plenty to offer. Spend a day at a village farm in Tepke in the Issyk-Kul Region, or encounter camels, yaks, and eagles near traditional yurt camps. Feel the serenity of Son-Kul Lake, one of Kyrgyzstan’s highest alpine lakes, or marvel at the mirror-like waters of Toktogul Reservoir, a manmade dam so pristine it seems almost unreal.

The wonders of Kyrgyzstan’s natural landscapes are endless. Whether you explore them through curated tourism packages or strike out on your own adventure, we invite you to experience the magic of this alpine paradise firsthand!
