It lays so far in the Asian mountains that few people know about it. The country is so young that it doesn't even have its English name. But this is a marvelous country, a mixture of hi-tech industry and sometimes very primitive agriculture, highly educated people and nearly real nomads. It is supposed to be the most democratic among all the Asian republics of the former superpower. The climate ranges from extreme continental to nearly maritime due to considerable relief raggedness and a large lake Issyk-Kul.
Summer is dry and hot.
Winter is rather cold, especially in the mountains and intermountain basins. Payment is made in cash when getting off public transport. As a rule, a driver takes a number of passengers equal to the one of seats in a car. But it is cheaper to get by any car that one can stop than getting by taxi. If you have any questions, visit the tourism offices and they can give you up to date information.
