Bishkek, Aug. 22, 2019 / Kabar /. Facebook user Richard Watson // PHOTOGRAPHY published a post dedicated to his trip to Kyrgyzstan with amazing photos.
The guest described his visit to Kyrgyzstan in his post:
"The first time I visited Kyrgyzstan in 2018 I really wasn’t sure what to expect. When I told people back home I was going the general response was … "where?" Most people in the UK, even those fairly well travelled, have hardly heard of Kyrgyzstan, let alone able to spell it.
Tourism in Kyrgyzstan is still in its infancy and it’s that limited footfall which presents the rare opportunity to explore a stunning, offbeat, affordable country without crowds of tourists which really is like gold dust in this day and age. The country has only been an independent nation since the breakdown of the Soviet Union in 1991 and its slowly and deservedly gaining a place on the bucket list of life. It’s even been referred to as The Patagonia of Central Asia," he wrote.
The photographer named Kyrgyzstan as a trekker, photographer and nature lover’s paradise.
"Over 80% of the country is mountainous, there are countless crystal clear, turquoise alpine lakes, the culture is fascinating and that’s before we mention the amazing hospitality of the Kyrgyz people. The Kyrgyz are traditionally a nomadic race, so what the country lacks in historic buildings (they’ve been on the move) it makes up for in the amazingly friendly, generous and hospitable nature of its people. The people of Kyrgyzstan love travellers, even referring to tourists as ‘guests’, and it’s part of the custom to welcome passers-by into their home, break bread and offer them tea, or in more remote places Kymyz (a fermented horse milk) which let’s just say is a very acquired taste that I haven’t managed to acquire yet!," he wrote.
He visited Bishkek, Osh, gorges, canyons Sary-Chelek, Arslanbob, conquered the peak of Lenin, Kazarman, Naryn, Kel-Suu and other places.
