Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country located in Central Asia. It is bordered by Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan to the southwest and China to the east. The capital city is Bishkek.

Kyrgyzstan is home to many lakes, glaciers and mountains and a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, horseback riding and skiing. The country is also known for its traditional yurt dwellings and for its nomadic culture.

Kyrgyzstan's cuisine is similar to that of other Central Asian countries. It is based on meat (usually lamb), vegetables and dairy products. Popular dishes include beshbarmak (a noodle dish with meat), kuurdak (a fried meat dish) and plov (a rice dish).
