Places to visit

Moldobashi peak KG

The Moldobashi peak is located in the Djetim massif which marks the border between the oblast of Issyk Kul and Naryn. From Kyrgyz, one could translate by "the head of the one who prays". The easiest access is from the village of Archaly, to the north, if not from the Naryn nature reserve, to the south.

Saisima NP

This village perched at 2300 m is located in the sacred valley of Khembalung, in the national park Makalu-Barun. Our project aims to ensure the food self-sufficiency of the village, but also to become a permaculture training center.

On six hectares of partially abandoned land, in the ethics and principles of permaculture, we will initiate a farm comprising a dwelling and reception house, vegetable gardens, fields of food crops, agroforestry, breeding, henhouse. After its completion, this farm will also become a permaculture training center. This project requires fairly significant resources.

If you want to support the development of this village, you can donate to the Nepalko Sathi Association.

Culture

Culture in Kyrgyzstan Kyrgyzstan

The Kyrgyz culture has been greatly influenced by the nomadic heritage. It is reflected in the way a household was run, in customs, and rites. People decorated their homes with items that were both beautiful and practical. The masterpiece of folk creation is the Kyrgyz yurta (yourt, yurt, tent), which was easy to assemble and transport from place to place.

Culture in Tajikistan Tajikistan

The tajik culture is rich thank to its rich historical past. The culture can be devided into different geographical areas. In one side, the old cities of the lowland, like Khujand, Kulob, Panjakent, Qurghonteppa, Khorugh and Istaravshan, but also Samarkand and Boukhara situated actually in Uzbekistan. On the other side, we can talk about the culture of the Pamir, divided between Pamiris and Kyrgyz people, and Yaghnobi people living in the Northern area of Tajikistan.

As early as 874-1005 AD the Tajik civilization has reached its Golden Age in the reign of the Samanids. During this period, the territory has been the cradle of natural and social sciences development in the Central Asia.

Upholding to the rich culture of the past are the archaeological artifacts which have proven the artistry of ancient Tajiks. Art forms such as paintings, sculptures, and other structures which are believed to have originated in the 7th and 8th centuries were found in the ancient city of Penjikent. Other artifacts readily accessible are old mosques along with their grandiose wall paintings that depict ancestral architecture. It is also believed that many contemporary instruments have their origins in the Pamir, such as string instruments.

Top 10 things to do in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan

Karakol is a great base camp for day tours or multi-day tours in the mountains near by. The trekking and horseback riding possibilities are limitless and it’s still possible to find places that are untouched by large tour groups. My advice is to spend at least one full day in Karakol to just walk around and enjoy something different than Bishkek, Osh, and Kochkor. I hope you enjoy this blog post about Karakol and the area if you have any questions about the Karakol area get a hold of me. You can enjoy a short film about me here: About Alex
