Ecotourism is a way of traveling that focuses on protecting the environment, preserving cultural heritage, and supporting local communities. It’s not just about visiting beautiful places – it’s about traveling to help preserve them for future generations.
As residents of our country, we have a unique opportunity to promote sustainable travel practices by exploring Kyrgyzstan’s stunning nature and cultural diversity. Here’s how:
Ecotourism is low-impact travel that prioritizes conservation and respect for local traditions. It’s a conscious choice that benefits both nature and the people who live in these places.
Staying in CBT (Community-Based Tourism) guesthouses. These guesthouses were established by local families and offer a warm, authentic experience, allowing you to directly support the well-being of rural communities in Kyrgyzstan.
Stay in eco-friendly yurt camps: Many of these camps incorporate sustainable practices such as using natural building materials, minimizing waste, conserving water and energy, and preparing traditional meals from local ingredients. This allows you to immerse yourself in nomadic culture with minimal impact on the environment.
Eco-treks with local guides: Choose routes led by local guides who know the area, respect nature, and share natural and cultural knowledge that will enrich your experience.
