Viajamos por todo el mundo y siempre solemos utilizar la guía de lonely planet. Para kirguistan, investigando, encontramos esta maravillosa guía para offroad y mucho mas, Explore Kyrguisztan de Ountravela, y puedo decir que sin lugar a dudas es LA MEJOR GUÍA QUE HEMOS TENIDO NUNCA. Además del libro, compramos también los tracks y todos los permisos necesarios para circular con coche en las zonas fronterizas del país. El servicio fue excelente, ountravela atendió de forma inmediata a todas nuestras dudas a través del email y de la cuenta de instagram, que es espectacular y estamos muy felices. Sin esta guía el viaje no habría sido ni la mitad de lo que fue. Esperando con mucha impaciencia la siguiente guía de Georgia! Mil gracis pareja de Ountravela por combinar de forma tan increible nuestras dos pasiones, el offroad y los viajes. Eternamente agradecidos 🙌

The book is really well made. The satellite images with the routes plotted are very useful and the information on the state of the roads is correct. We explored Kyryzstan by off-road car and it was the best trip ever. Routes are very nice and picturesque. Thank you for putting together such a useful and wonderful book. 🙂

On the Silk Road
Traversed by the Celestial Mountains and the famous Silk Road, Kyrgyzstan is a diverse country of wild beauty.
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.

Book contents
The 24 off-road routes and main touristic interest sites are indicated on a general map, at the beginning of the book. The routes are classified by difficulty level from 1 to 5, to help you build your itinerary according to your vehicle and your experience.
