When to visit
Adventurous Kyrgyzstan is best experienced during the warmer months of the year from April to October. In the winter months, many of the high passes are snowed in,
adding an extra layer of challenge for thrill-seekers. Spring and summer offer the perfect opportunity to explore the rugged beauty of the mountain valleys and discover hidden gems in quaint villages.
