#kyrgyzstan #alai valley #osh #bishkek #pamir #issykkul #pigeon of peace
August 2022. In four days I managed to visit the main attractions of Kyrgyzstan. Different Bishkek, the sacred mountain Suleiman-Too in Osh, the Alai Valley squeezed by seven-thousander mountains, kind people, hundreds of horses and sheep, the pride of the Kyrgyz Issyk-Kul Lake, unfriendly roads and infrastructure, everything is mixed up in this beautiful country.
Beautiful landscapes, historical monuments and the majestic Pamir Highway - everything and more in this detailed film about Kyrgyzstan.
As usual, like👍-comment🗨-subscription will be the best motivation.
