Kyrgyzstan is 90% mountainous. A few asphalt roads connect the largest towns (Bishkek, Osh, Karakol,…). Staying on these main roads awards you with nice views, but you might be missing the real beauty and diversity of the landscapes that the country offers. To access remote and wild areas, a 4wd vehicle will be essential. (Ountravela)
