I bought this book to help us finding the best routes through this magnificent country as a part of our around-the-world overland trip. It is really well researched and we managed to drive a majority of the itinaries. It is a must for people exploring the remote wonders of Kyrgystan on four wheels.

    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

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.

Reinventing guidebooks

24 of the best van, 4×4, motorbike & cycling routes

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.

EXPLORE KYRGYZSTAN will in no way be a box standard tourist guide. Our guide has been designed for travellers searching for adventure and authentic experiences. Each and every trail in the book has been patiently explored, adventure by adventure, in the immensity of the Kyrgyz landscape.

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.

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.

The general map is also available in A2 format. Folded, it slips into your pocket. You will find a complete Kyrgyz-English phrase book on the back. It’s the ideal tool to complete the book!
