Over the Border

Kyrgyzstan is in the very middle of the Eurasian continent, bordering China (to the east), Kazakhstan (to the north and west), Uzbekistan (to the south and west), and Tajikistan (to the south west and south). 
Many visitors to the country are travelling along the Silk Road.  This section contains some short descriptions of the places of interest in neighbouring countries associated with the Silk Road.  
We have arranged ed the information by country – with a brief section on the places “just over the border”, followed by a section with brief details about some other places of interest which are a bit “more distant”.

The Celestial Mountains Tour Company, however, is registered and operates only in the Kyrgyz Republic.  For tours which operate over national boundaries, we work in co-operation with local in companies in the neighbouring countries.
