Exploring the Hidden Gems of Bishkek

After traveling extensively in West Asia, I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity and charm of Bishkek. From the bustling Osh Bazaar to the quaint Frunze Museum, this city has a unique blend of modernity and tradition. The Ala Archa National Park was the highlight of my trip, with its jagged peaks and turquoise river. The nomadic heritage of Kyrgyzstan was also evident in their cuisine, particularly the hearty and delicious beshbarmak. I was excited to discover a new part of West Asia and learn more about local culture and traditions.
