Kyrgyzstan

Series details

£15.99

Following the break-up of the USSR, Kyrgyzstan soon earned a reputation as the most hospitable and least repressive of the newly emerged central Asian republics. Unlike some of its neighbours, it has actively encouraged foreign tourism and has pursued a policy of supporting community projects with an emphasis on adventure tourism.

The Bradt guide details all the services and experiences the country offers including trekking, mountaineering, horseriding and wildlife-watching. Historical sites, cultural activities and background on the Kyrgystan people are all covered by this definitive guide.

One of the guide's unique features is that it provides an invaluable resource for English-speaking expatriates; it also features intrepid and exciting overland routes to China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

About this series:
Comprehensive guides for adventurous travellers wanting to explore destinations off the beaten track, written mostly by single authors.

Highlighting culture and natural history, these are predominantly practical guides accentuating responsible tourism. Straightforward information is given for all aspects of independent travel in a region, with discerning advice on places to stay and eat. Clear, simple town plans and other sketch maps are included.

As Michael Palin says:

"Bradt Guides are expertly written and longer on local details than any others"
