Two Weeks in Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 (Alpine Lakes, Mountains, a Three-Day Horse Trek)

🌏 I Traveled Through Kyrgyzstan – Mountains, Horse Trekking, Hostels & More! 🇰🇬 What's it really like to travel through Kyrgyzstan? In this video, I spend two weeks in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, volunteering at a hostel, meeting travelers from around the world, and exploring some of Central Asia's most spectacular landscapes. From hiking to a beautiful alpine lake and wandering through the bustling Osh Bazaar, to exploring Ala Archa National Park and embarking on an unforgettable three-day horseback trek to Song Kul Lake — this adventure took me through breathtaking mountains, remote countryside, and some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever experienced. 🏠 Planning a trip to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan?
