The Idea
We, Holger Furtmayr and Florian Michahelles, two German students, decided to go cycling to Kyrgyzstan. What!? Where!? Actually, that's the first answer everybody gives, as Kyrgyzstan is pretty unknown in the Western world so far.
However, Kyrgyzstan is only 6h by flight from Frankfurt/Germany, visas can be obtained without any obstacles from the Kyrgyz embassy. According to reports, Kyrgyzstan is more or less save.Just there is no infrastructure.
Therefore, Kyrgyzstan offers unspoiled nature in a young developing country waiting for tourists. We are looking forward to getting in touch with the hospitable people being surrounded by spectacular nature sites.
