3 hours behind Korea
A mountain country where most of the land sits above 1,500 m. Lake Issyk-Kul, ringed by peaks, never freezes in winter — its name means “warm lake”.
Entry & visa
Sixty days visa-free for tourism. Some border zones near China and Tajikistan need a separate permit.
Worth knowing
In summer much of the high-country lodging is in yurts, the nomads’ portable tents. Nights drop below freezing even in August, so bring a sleeping bag.
