The book is so nice and well designed that it’s quite a shame to bring it on a road trip 😀 It will end up that I will buy a 2nd copy just for my bookshelf !

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.

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.
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!
