Designed like a roadbook, and illustrated with a multitude of maps and photos, this book is both a tool and guide for independent travellers who wish to discover, understand, and explore Kyrgyzstan. We offer in this book a selection of small, unexplored trails, to discover by van, 4×4, bike or motorcycle.
Instead of classical stops and by-the-book itineraries, we offer our readers an original format allowing you to create your trip yourself. With a perfect knowledge of the terrain, travellers can improvise their way, guided by what they fancy or who they meet, fully independently.

Original très beau livre très pratique
Bonjour,
Nous nous sommes rencontrés à Andernos à l’occasion D’un « marché /salon » pour baroudeurs que nous sommes également. Nous avions beaucoup échangé et admiré votre travail qui correspond à notre style de voyage, d’où cet achat en vu de visiter ce merveilleux pays qui est tout ce que l’on aime : l’autonomie !! Avant tout sans omettre les paysages et routes !! Je me suis bien gardée d’ouvrir le livre si bien emballé et attend noël pour le découvrir de plus près et avec plus d’attention puisque je l’offre à mon mari . Je vous en dirai plus même si je sais déjà que ça va être un enchantement.
Je vous souhaite de passer de très bonnes fêtes et une très belle continuation. Continuez à nous faire rêver , je suis fan et vous suie sur Instagram.🤗

On a hâte d’utiliser le guide sur le terrain ! Départ prévu l’été prochain en famille. Les niveaux de difficulté des pistes sont un réel plus 🙂 Le format est génial, beaucoup de photos et de cartes.
