I loved Kyrgyzstan! And a great contribution to my trip was the guide book! For my first proper offroad journey it went very smooth due to OunTravela's rental suggestions, the permit service and the guide itself. The road status updates can even be found online if a road is still closed or no longer accessible.Definitely get this if you want to arrive prepared in Kyrgyzstan and want to make the most of your journey.

I chose the whole set of the book: with map, gpx files and the electronic version of the guide. I am very pleased. Beautifully published guide and a lot of work that I appreciate, now all that remains is to go there.

It's a real pleasure to discover this country, where we'll be going one day! The book is super well done! We can't wait to hear from our friends, who have been given another copy and will open their present at midnight on the 31st!
