Unless you have booked everything via a tour operator, the "discovery in a week" option will only be possible if you travel to a neighbouring country, such as Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan, and decide to make a small incursion into the country of the nomads. Given the time difference and travel times, it is indeed difficult to leave for such a short period of time and hope to take advantage of it, except for a simple, precise and organized trek, which becomes easier and more economical to achieve than in the past thanks to the low cost flights of the airline Pegasus. However, on the spot, the mountain ranges to be crossed and the security risk posed by domestic flights will not allow you to visit all areas in such a short time, and it will take a minimum of 15 days to enjoy the country. From Uzbekistan, focus on the Kyrgyz Ferghana and take a trip to Chatyr Kul. From Kazakhstan, discover the capital, Bishkek, and tour Lake Issyk Kul. This tour is from Uzbekistan
