Silk Road Tours
The Great Silk Road played an important role in the historical fate of the Kyrgyz people and their state associations. The territory and people of ancient Kyrgyzstan were at the origin and center of the formation of the greatest economic and cultural phenomenon in the world history of the Silk Road. Occupying a favorable geographical position on trade routes, and absorbing the cultural achievements of the East and West, Kyrgyzstan became the bridge that connected West and East. Three branches of the ancient Pamir caravan route passed through the territory of Pamir and Alai, southern and northern ones, which ran through the high mountain passes of the Tien Shan and Pamir. It is characteristic that directions of the Silk Road have constantly changed over the millennia, but the routes of the caravan that run through Kyrgyzstan have always remained unchanged. Kyrgyzstan was a kind of "guardian of the mountain gate" of this ancient caravan way. A tour to Central Asia is an immersion in the world of Eastern fairy tales.
