Kyrgzstan travel
After having surfed for ages in search of a usable online travel guide for Kyrgyzstan, I found 'kirgistan-reisen.de'. In great depth, the site covers different general topics which one would expect in a guide like that. On top of that, it offers a nice, clickable map of the country - giving a geographical impression of it all.
from the (bilingual) website:
| The blazing sun, snow-covered Tian-Shan summits ("Celestial Mountains"), glaciers, expanded plateaus, crystal-clear mountain lakes and rivers, steppes, deserted landscapes and the traditional farming of pastures and farmland - only a small selection of the characteristics of Kyrgyzstan. Due to the extreme difference in altitude there are high climatic variations. On the one hand there are the subtropical-mediterranean Fergana-Valley in the Southeast and the Chuy- and Talas-Valleys lying in a desert-similar climatic area, on the other hand the summits of the Pamir and the Tian-Shan lying in the eternal ice. |
A brilliant resource for travel destinations throughout the country. Makes the country appear closer and more accessible than thought before. We'll make the practice test during the summer.
Recommended, too: the gallery - offering a great insight into life in this remote country. Can't wait!
