The fascination of the sky mountains: A journey through the Silk Road

The mountains call, and the adventurers answer. In a world where the mountains are referred to as "sky mountains", there is much to discover and experience. The Silk Road, once a vibrant trade route connecting the East to the West, is now a symbol of adventure and discovery.

The journey begins

The journey along the Silk Road is not only a physical one, but also an emotional one. The snow-capped peaks of Tien Shan, the “Mountains of Heaven,” provide a breathtaking backdrop for this epic journey. But it's not just about the mountains. It's also about the people, the culture and the history that make this region so unique.

Samarkand: A Jewel of the Silk Road

Samarkand, once the richest city in the world, is now a living testimony to the splendor and wealth of the Silk Road. With its monumental buildings and ornate mosaics, it is a must-see for every traveler. But it's not just the architecture that's impressive. It is also the people and their stories that make Samarkand an unforgettable experience.

The mountains are calling

After the hustle and bustle of the city, travelers head to the mountains. The destination is Chimgan, an impressive peak that rises almost 3,500 m into the sky. The climb is not a walk, but the views from the top are worth it. And while the physical effort may be great, the emotional reward is even greater.

A look into the future

The journey along the Silk Road may be coming to an end, but the adventure continues. Looking at Kyrgyzstan and its own wonders, there is still much to discover. Whether it's the nomads and their horses or the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Issyk Kul, the journey is far from over.

The Silk Road may be a relic of the past, but its stories and adventures are timeless. For those who hear the call of the mountains and follow the path of explorers, there is still much to discover and experience.
