Kyrgyzstan is an incredible country that we have visited multiple times over the last few years and it really is a photographers dream – often referred to as the Patagonia of Central Asia. With a country that is 90% mountainous and the most incredible & hospitable people, we’ll capture photographs and memories to last a lifetime!
