Kyrgyzstan
Many westerners have not even heard of the central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan, let alone considered it as a holiday destination. The Republic, which shook off its Soviet shackles in the 1990s, is keen to welcome visitors to the “Switzerland of Central Asia”. Mountaineers and hikers jealously guard the secret of this fantastic scenic country,more with its glaciers, towering peaks and vast Alpine lake (Issyk-Kul). The capital, Bishkek, one of the greenest cities in the world, is the cherry on top of this refreshing wonderland.
