Featured Destinations

Almaty

Almaty

The bridge between Asia and Europe is Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan with a growing population of 1.5 million. Also known as the "city of apples," Almaty grows a variety of apples used both as consumption and scientific research. At night, travelers navigate their way to its bright city lights and on a clear day, the snow-capped mountains are kissed by the sun in the background. While visiting Almaty, take advantage of the aerial tramway zipping you to the top of Kok Tobe. Practice your ice skating in Medeu, the highest Olympic sized ice stadium. Stroll through Arbat, a tree-line pedestrian street or gaze in awe at the grandeur of the Presidential Palace. 
Destination Guide
Saty
Karakol

Karakol

This quiet, picturesque town near the eastern end of Lake Issyk-Kul is a good base for exploring the lake and the central part of the Tien Shan range, or just for relaxing at one of the many nearby hot springs. Among the historical oddities in town are a Tungan (Chinese Muslim) mosque and several 19th-century wooden colonnades on some of the older buildings near the central bazaar. There are also a couple of good markets in and around Karakol, particularly on Sunday. About 40 mi/65 km west of Karakol is a range of odd red-rock formations called Dzhety-Oguz, or Seven Bulls. Local legend says the bulls were turned to stone by the gods to keep them from terrorizing nomads. Karakol is 300 mi/480 east of Bishkek.

Bishkek

Bishkek lies in the Tien Shan mountain range in the Chui Valley in the Kyrgyz Republic. It is the largest city and capital of Kyrgyzstan. Bishkek often serves as a base for trips to the Tien Shans mountains, and makes a great start to tour the silk road. It is a hospitable town with cafes and clubs, and streets flanked with irrigation channels and large trees.
