Kyrgyzstan: Beshparmak | GLOBAL SNACK | DW.DE | 14.05.2013

Damira Dushenova runs a snack bar that’s located high in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, along what was once the famous Silk Road.

She serves a traditional Kyrgyz dish called “Beshparmak,” which translates into “eat with five fingers.” The dish is made with lamb, beef, noodles, and a hearty broth.

Kyrgyzstan | Travel Guide and Travel Inspiration

We are an independent group of keen travellers, some even professional (yes, it is possible), who like to share with other travellers about places we like. We are not a travel agency and we do not try to sell you guidebooks, the only thing we do is travel inspiration.

Here’s what they say about Kyrgyzstan:

 Kyrgyzstan has long led the accessibility race in Central Asia. It recently assured its position ahead of the pack by abolishing visa requirements for some 44 ‘Western’ countries. This increased ease of travel opened up one of the most culturally intact countries in the region. A fascinating semi-nomadic culture welcomes travellers to some of the most spectacular hiking sceneries on Earth. A surprisingly professional tourism infrastructure facilitates visits to remote areas where time seems to have been forgotten. All this, infused with a historian’s dream of a Soviet time capsule, makes Kyrgyzstan a place with more to offer than you might expect. But one thing’s for sure, with the secret getting out, best visit the country now before it changes.

Kyrgyzstan: Genghis Khan, Mountains and Mutton – Travel Culture Magazine

I often still find it strange that I can tell people I spent 2 months living in Kyrgyzstan. I am sure listeners conjure up images of something like Genghis Khan’s horde or a land ripe with civil war. Though there are times when I felt like a nomad or in potential danger, Kyrgyzstan is not a dangerous place. Actually it is a peaceful one with green hills, kind people and about 1000 different kinds of mutton.

Crossing Kyrgyzstan by Bike | Adventure Cyclist | Adventure Cycling Association

Kyrgyzstan, where on earth is that?” This was the typical response  we heard from people when we told them where we were going there, but we weren’t usually standing at the check-in counter of the airline that was supposed to take us there.
