Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous Central Asian country and former Soviet republic known as the 'Switzerland of Central Asia' for its stunning alpine scenery, nomadic culture, and adventure tourism. Over 90% of the country is mountainous, dominated by the Tian Shan and Pamir mountain ranges. Bishkek, the capital, is a Soviet-planned city with wide boulevards, Soviet architecture, and growing café culture. Kyrgyzstan is one of Central Asia's most accessible and visitor-friendly countries with very liberal visa policies. Visitors are drawn to Issyk-Kul Lake (world's second-largest alpine lake), Song-Kul Lake high-altitude nomadic pastures and yurt stays, Ala-Archa National Park near Bishkek, Jeti-Oguz red rock formations, Karakol and Tian Shan trekking, Silk Road heritage, Burana Tower, traditional horseback culture, eagle hunting, felt crafts (shyrdaks), and authentic Central Asian experiences. Kyrgyzstan offers pristine mountain landscapes, nomadic hospitality, and adventure tourism at budget-friendly prices.

Kyrgyzstan has remarkably liberal visa policies to boost tourism. Citizens of over 60 countries including United States, United Kingdom, EU member states, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and many others can enter visa-free for up to 60 days for tourism or business. Citizens of most other countries can obtain e-visas online through the government e-visa portal (www.evisa.e-gov.kg) with processing typically 1-3 business days and costing $51 USD for single entry. E-visas are valid for 90 days. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. No registration required for tourist stays. Kyrgyzstan's visa liberalization since 2012 has made it one of the easiest Central Asian countries to visit, positioning itself as a regional tourism hub for trekking, cultural tourism, and Silk Road exploration.
