When researching resources to plan a self drive trip to Kyrgyzstan it soon became clear that the guides and maps offered by Ountravela were the best available. So we purchased them and have not been disappointed. The guide is comprehensive, current and well laid out. Ountravela offer after sales assistance through a Facebook page and updates.

Saw this on a social media post… it didn’t take long to decide that it would be ideal. We are driving a 4×4 truck from Malaysia to Wales and passing through Kyrgyzstan…. We have around about 3 to 4 weeks to explore off the main highways in KZ… this saves us so much time in research… perfect… now we have more time to explore!

On the Silk Road
Peppered with dizzyingly high peaks reaching up to 7,000m, the land sprawls amongst a magnificent backdrop of green mountains, offering beautiful vistas populated by the sleek outline of horses and the white yurts typical of local nomadic tribes.
From desert steppes to wide valleys crafted by time and erosion, this small landlocked country in Central Asia is an ideal destination for an adventure off the beaten paths.
