The Naryn region is ideal for long trips, including trekking, cycling and car trips. The large area and small population of the region can provide many impressions for tourists. The region is famous for its large lakes at an altitude of more than 3000 meters and beautiful and complex mountain gorges connecting the valleys and gorges of Naryn Region.The Naryn region is a great place to get an insight into the nomadic life of the Kyrgyz people, which has not changed much in the last 300 years. If you are interested in cultural monuments, it is worth visiting Tash Rabat, one of the oldest Silk Road caravan huts in Central Asia. Naryn region is the largest and paradoxically the least populated region of Kyrgyzstan. It is a region of vast landscapes and high mountains, where the nomadic lifestyle of the Kyrgyz people has been preserved to this day. The Naryn Region is the largest alpine region in the country. It includes the Kokshaal- Too Range, the largest in the Tien Shan, the At Bashi Range, the Moldo-Too Range, the Naryn-Too Range and the Susamyr Too Range. The average altitude is 3000-4000 meters. The ridge is broken by wide mountain valleys, the most famous of which are the Aksai, Alpa and Kochkor valleys. The southern part of Naryn Region is the coldest region in Kyrgyzstan. As a result, the aforementioned Aksai valley recorded a Kyrgyz temperature record of -53°C. The mountain lakes of Son-kul, Kelsu and Chatyr-lkul and the largest river in the Tien Shan, the Naryn, are very popular.
Historically, the region has always been inhabited by nomadic Kyrgyz in the 11th-13th centuries, to this day 99% of the population is Kyrgyz. The nomadic way of life has remained unchanged over the centuries and has been preserved because the land is relatively remote from war and trade routes. For this reason, there are relatively few historical monuments in the region. It was not until the Soviet era that towns, villages and roads began to be built.
During the Soviet era, tourism was banned in most of Naryn Region in order to preserve the pristine nature of the region. This makes Naryn region an ideal place for ecotourism.
