So, for those who were interested in the country from my previous post, I am glad to introduce — Kyrgyzstan. This is a country in Central Asia, more than three-quarters of which is mountainous. This is just for me!
The mountains in Kyrgyzstan are represented by two huge mountain systems: Tian Shan and Pamir. Here you can find mountains for every taste: high and low, green or snowy, or even completely multi-colored. In some places, the landscapes remind me of Iceland, and somewhere — New Zealand, Chile or Pakistan. The variety of landscapes is amazing!
And there are several lakes here, the largest of them is Issyk-Kul, it is one of the thirty largest lakes in the world in the surface area and is in the top ten by volume and depth. Kyrgyzstan does not have access to the sea, but Issyk-Kul is like the sea: endless and salt water.
The variety of local landscapes struck me even when I first visited Kyrgyzstan 7 years ago during an expedition along the Pamir Highway. But this year I managed to travel a little more here, and I think I will be able to visit different beautiful places more than once.
And, of course, I'll show you a lot of photos from here — I just can't resist :)
In the meantime, I am preparing a big review post about a 10-day trip to Kyrgyzstan (alas, things are going slowly). I hope a few shots in this post will interest you a little :)
One of the places that I liked and struck the most was the vicinity of Lake Köl-Suu, not far from the border with China. The sunset views there were just magical! I would like to look more often at such mountains and meandering mountain rivers. And you?
It's better to watch the photo in high resolution.
