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.

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.
