The Kyrgyz Republic was established after the fall of the Uighur State in 840, and the people embraced Islam during the Karakhanid period. Today, a significant portion of the populace is Muslim, while a quarter consists of Christians, Buddhists, and atheists. The country was part of the USSR between 1936 and 1992, and remnants of Russian influence can still be seen. Known for its breathtaking natural beauty, low urbanization rate, and a populace that remains closely tied to its traditions, this monumental country offers unique experiences to its visitors. Our tour in the capital of the Chuy Province, Bishkek will include the Ala Too Square, where festivals, concerts, and major activities take place and where the country's independence movement began. We will see the eye-catching Soviet-era Parliament Building, the Oak Park that has been evolving since the first trees were planted in 1890 and is now a significant oxygen reservoir, the symbolic Victory Square, and within it, the Eternal Flame Monument, representing a woman waiting for her son and husband who never returned from the war. There’s also the largest church in Central Asia, the Russian Orthodox Church, the History Museum, which houses many artifacts illuminating the country’s ancient history, the Gapar Aitiev Fine Arts Museum, showcasing both Kyrgyz folk art and Russian period artworks, the Frunze Museum in honor of the Soviet revolutionary born in Bishkek, the beautifully designed National Opera and Ballet Theater, which hosts significant performances, and the National Philharmonic Building, renowned for the Bishkek Jazz Festival and various concerts.

(On suitable days, guests may swim in the lake during the break).
