Kyrgyzstan
The Land of the Yurts & Nomadic Spirit
Nestled within the towering Tian Shan, Kyrgyzstan is often called the heart of the Celestial Mountains. Against this breathtaking backdrop, white felt yurts dot the landscape, standing as symbols of hospitality and a living nomadic heritage. Horses are also at the centre of Kyrgyz culture and cuisine, a true spirit of nomadic Central Asia.
