Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked marvel of a country, located in Central Asia. Nestled amid the majestic mountain ranges of Tian Shan and Pamir, Kyrgyzstan is bordered by Kazakhstan on the north, Uzbekistan on the west, Tajikistan on the south, and China on the east and southeast sides. Because it is situated over mountainous regions, the country is mostly known for being mountainous in terrain. For the same reason, it boasts beautiful natural landscapes comprising mountains, hills, lush valleys, and dry plains that were possibly former trade routes.
While Kyrgyzstan is geographically isolated because of its highly mountainous terrain, the country is known to have been an active part of the famous Silk Route, and hence, at the crossroads of some of the greatest civilizations ever known. As a result, the country offers a rich history spanning a variety of empires and cultures.
This makes Kyrgyzstan a popular tourist destination, specifically for history buffs and culture enthusiasts. Solo travellers often choose unique Kyrgyzstan tour packages covering niche locations and attractions to learn more about the landlocked wonder.
To provide a wholesome experience of the culture-rich country, Akbar Travels offers a range of thoughtfully curated Kyrgyzstan tour packages, each with complete and comprehensive itineraries for the curious traveller. Each of our packages are designed to appeal to all types of tourists starting from solo culture enthusiasts to families looking for fun vacations.

The best places to visit in Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan, being a core center for the growth and flourishing of prominent civilizations, is a hotspot for cultural and historic sites. In addition to endearing sights of former cities, trade routes, and building ruins, the place also boasts beautiful mountain landscapes including valleys and dry plains. It is no wonder that Kyrgyzstan tour packages are often sold out in full during peak seasons.
Here is an overview of some of the best places to visit in Kyrgyzstan.
Bishkek
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan’s capital and largest city is home to an array of fascinating monuments and historical sites. Starting from the 11th-century Burana Tower to the nearby regions of Suyab and Navekat, which are famous once-bustling Silk Route ruins collectively recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the city has a lot to offer for history buffs. In addition to these, Bishkek is also home to beautiful landscapes some of which include picturesque mountain valleys of Kegeti, Chunkurchak, and the famous Ala-Archa National Park. Some other attractions in Bishkek include the State History Museum, Panfilov Park, Alamedin Gorge, and the Central Mosque. All these priceless experiences easily make Bishkek one of the best places to visit in Kyrgyzstan.
Osh
Osh, located on the eastern edge of the Fergana Valley, very close to its Uzbekistan border, is known to be a treasure trove for foodies. Because of its unique blend of cultures, the city is home to a variety of ethnicities such as Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Koreans and more. The founder of the grandiose Mughal Dynasty in India - Babur is also said to have lived in meditation atop the Sulaiman Too mountain before moving to India.
As a result of years of cultural amalgamation, Osh is a hotspot for interesting food varieties. The place is popular for offering the best and cheapest food in all of Kyrgyzstan. Some other popular attractions in Osh include the Alay Valley, the Irkeshtam Pass, and Museum Sulaiman Too.
Karakol
Karakol, a tasteful small city situated just below the colossal mountains is an excellent destination for ecotourism. Brimming with opportunities for hiking, trekking, and even skiing, the city is one of the best places to visit in Kyrgyzstan, especially for adventure enthusiasts. The summer season in Karakol is perfect for short hikes to the Altyn Arashan hot springs, or the Ak-Suu Arboretum. Many of the valleys nearby lead to the country’s best Ak-Suu Transverse trek as well.
In winter, tourists love skiing at the Karakol ski base - one of the top spots for skiing in Central Asia.
Son-Köl
Son-Köl is another gorgeous city situated at a high altitude and filled with pristine lakes and rich fauna. Its secluded geographic location lends an exceptionally serene ambience, making it one of the best places to visit in Kyrgyzstan if you are looking for a laid back and relaxing trip to the mountainous country. At over 3000m above sea level, the place offers a one-of-a-kind experience, with its lake remaining cold even during summers. You can also spot some interesting sightings of rare migratory birds while soaking up the views from above. Horse riding is another popular activity that travellers often choose to do at Son-Köl.
Issyk-Köl
Last but not least is Issyk-Köl, a unique city that attracts a party-loving energetic crowd on its north shore, and a country-loving crowd of soul searchers on its south shore. Dotted with short and elegant little bays and extensive stretches of the vast coastline, the southern shore is perfect for a relaxing Kyrgyzstan trip. You can pair an evening stroll along the coast along with a day hike through the Tian Shan mountains nearby.
On the other hand, if you are up for exploring the nightlife in the city, the north shore is your best bet. With elements to cater to the interests of all types of travellers, Issyk-Köl is undoubtedly another one of the best places to visit in Kyrgyzstan.
Akbar Travels offers well-curated Kyrgyzstan tour packages that cover most of these core locations as well as a few interesting hidden gems in between. Our carefully designed itineraries are so planned to offer the best coverage of important destinations while also providing ample time for rest and relaxation. This ensures that you enjoy the best, most memorable experience with your Kyrgyzstan trip.
The best time to visit Kyrgyzstan
The best time to visit Kyrgyzstan is during the summer months from June to September. During this time, the country experiences fairly pleasant weather, with ample sunshine and clear skies perfect for outdoor activities including sightseeing and hiking. You can also take a dip in the high-altitude lakes during the summer season to enjoy a warm to moderate swim.
Shoulder season is considered to be during May and October; if you are looking for better deals on Kyrgyzstan tour packages and flights, and fewer crowds when exploring the city, this would be the best time to visit Kyrgyzstan.
Winter in the country can get very cold with significant drops in temperatures. Many of the high mountain passes even remain closed on account of snowfall. However, if you are a winter sports enthusiast, visiting between November and April can let you indulge in activities like skiing and snowboarding at some of the best ranges in Central Asia.
Suffice it to say, that the best time to visit Kyrgyzstan depends on your personal travel goals and plans.
