KYRGYZSTAN ~The Kyla-Kul Lake~

...This breathtaking nature view is my 1st card received from Kyrgyzstan... I really know nothing at all of this country that seems to have a breathtaking natural beauty... With its vast and unaffected wilderness it is home to the world´s 3rd highest mountain range... In total, there are almost two thousand lakes in the country with a total area of almost 7000 sq. km. Most of them are small mountain lakes...
Thanks a lot!! See Sonja and Travis travelblog click here and follow their amazing journey along the "Silk Road routes".
