FAQs: Kyrgyzstan
What should I know about Kyrgyzstan?
Two large and imposing mountain ranges – the Tian Shan and Pamir mountains – dominate Kyrgyzstan’s landscape and are an inextricable part of its culture. Known as the Land of Celestial Mountains, the country is home to some of the world’s highest peaks outside Himalaya. Anciently on the famous Silk Road that connected China to the Mediterranean, Kyrgyzstan’s rich history is still a part of its present. Visit the huge bazaar in the southern city of Osh if you have the time! Karakol, on the Issyk Kul Lake, is also worth a visit.
Why should I choose Kyrgyzstan for my adventure?
The natural beauty
There is no shortage of it in Kyrgyzstan - pristine mountain landscapes abound around here. Think imposingly high mountains and rolling pastures that will take your breath away in more than one way.
The great climbs
Mountains over 7000m like Lenin Peak and Khan Tengri have been gaining in popularity among Westerners. Not overly technical, they are an excellent choice for intermediate/advanced mountaineers.
The rich nomadic culture
With the yurt as its most famous icon, nomadic culture is still alive and well in Kyrgyzstan. The country even holds the “World Nomad Games”, a celebration of its millenia-old traditions.
What can I expect from the weather in Kyrgyzstan?
Expect cold winters and warm and sunny summers. It is usually cool up in the mountains, even during the summer months, but can get scorchingly hot at low altitude cities.
Getting here
Bishkek´s Manas International Airport is the most popular entry point to the country.
Which language is predominantly spoken in Kyrgyzstan?
Kyrgyz
What’s the country code of Kyrgyzstan?
+996

Soms
What’s the high season in Kyrgyzstan?
July to September is the best time to visit if you are planning on going on a trek or have a specific mountaineering goal in mind. The winter months (December to March) are less popular among tourists but great for skiing.
What people are saying about Kyrgyzstan trips
This rating is actually for Aleksey Pototskiy, who stepped in to be our guide when Anastasiya unfortunately had to cancel at short notice. Aleksey was fantastic. He made us feel incredibly safe, even though we’d never ice climbed before, and was extremely patient and knowledgeable. He’s a very experienced climber and mountaineer, and I’d highly recommend him as a guide to climbers of all abilities.

I would recommend this trip to anyone. It was such an incredible experience and Misha was the best guide one could ask for. His knowledge is incredible and he answered every one of my million questions. On top of that he is a great guy to be around. The hike is diverse and the natural beauty is second to none. Don’t miss out on this experience!
Mathias
Had a wonderful 11-day trip with Anastasiya in the beautiful Ala Archa! This was my first mountaineering experience so this trip included a lot of courses in mountaineering and climbing skills. Anastasiya was a fantastic guide and was very good at keeping everything safe, fun and sufficient challenging. Would highly recommend her. Couldn’t think of a better introduction to mountaineering.
