Kyrgyzstan differs from other countries by its unique, virgin, diverse, beautiful nature, geographical position which defines a strict change of seasons, diverse relief (primarily, mountain), favorable policy towards tourism and liberal legislation.
94% of the territory of Kyrgyzstan is occupied with mountains. It has fantastic gorges covered with bright green grass, high fir-trees, and is filled with the crystal pure air. Murmur of the water in the tumultuous rivers and waterfalls are the only things which break the silence. Every gorge is unique and beautiful in its own way. The plexus of mountains located on the border with China is a location of the highest picks of the Tien-Shan mountain system - Pobeda Peak (7439 m) and Khan-Tengri (6995 m). From this point the gorges go to the west and south-west creating parallel ranges stretching for 300-400 km. The Republic southern border with Tajikistan is edged with the highest Chon-Alai (Zaalai) Range with the second highest peak in Kyrgyzstan – Lenin Peak (7134 m). Alpinists from all over the world strive for conquering these peaks. Kyrgyzstan is one of the largest regions that has the modern glaciers system. They occupy 4.2% of the territory of Kyrgyzstan with a total area of 8100 sq. km.
There are more than 2000 lakes and artificial storages in the country. The lakes occupy 3.4% of the territory. About 90% of them are high-altitude dams and enclosed lakes. Sary-Chelek Lake is a biosphere reserve located at the south-western slope of the Chatkal Range at a height of 1873.9 m above sea level. It impresses every tourist by its beauty.
The high-altitude Issyk-Kul Lake, the second largest after Lake Titicaca, is sheltered between Tien-Shan mountains at the bottom of the huge tectonic basin at a height of 1606.7 m above sea level. The Lake differs from others by its geographical, climatic, and hydrological conditions. All these make it unique medical and recovering resource for holidaymakers. Annually hundreds of tourists spend their holidays on the beaches of the Issyk-Kul Lake.
Kyrgyzstan is interesting by not only the nature but also by its culture. The Kyrgyzs are rooted in nomads and they still have all attributes of the nomadic life. You will see a yurt – unusual portable dwelling decorated with a hand-made welt carpets and ribbons, will have an opportunity to taste the national cuisine. If you wish you can stay in yurt for some time and watch the everyday life: pasturage, koumiss making, and national horse games.

Дорогая Вера, Я провожу выходные в национальном парке Сноудония с мамой и
папой. Сегодня погода солнечная и теплая, но вчера это было ужасно! Было
холодно и туманно. Вчера мы были на берегу моря. Этим утром в десять часов я
был на горе Сноудон и сегодня днем я был в бассейне в нашем отеле.
Фантастический! До скорой встречи, Тревор/</span>
