Visiting Kyrgyzstan in July
July and August is the peak of summer across the country, making it the only time to access mountains over 3000m and trek through spectacular pristine landscapes. This is the busiest time of year so expect to book well in advance to secure the best accommodation.

Visiting Kyrgyzstan in September
September and October is a great time to explore the cities, as the searing summer heat dissipates and visitor numbers drop. Glacial melt is high, making it a popular time to enjoy kayaking or rafting. Hiking remains a good option, with less snow around and more predictable conditions than earlier in the season.
