Tourism events 2020

Hello everybody! I found an interesting topic for our discussion. These are the festivals that are worth visiting during your tour in Kyrgyzstan. Traveling here you will get acquainted with the culture of this people. In fact, it reflects the rich history and nomadic traditions of the Kyrgyz people. This is a celebration of centuries of culture with traditional sports competitions, various fairs and shows.
Today, Kyrgyz festivals are the best way to preserve ancient traditions, holidays that are attended not only by people from all over the country, but also by guests from all over the world. The most popular festivals are dedicated to crafts, cuisine, folklore, felt, bird hunting, and horse games. Many Kyrgyz festivals are held on summer pastures (jailoo), where whole yurt camps are set up.
Festivals in Kyrgyzstan are one of the best places for those who want to imbue Kyrgyz traditions and customs.
So let's look at them and do not forget to visit during your tour in Kyrgyzstan.
