Pitch Your Tent in Rugged Kyrgyzstan
Even if you think you’ve done it all, there’s always some place new to discover together. Take landlocked Kyrgyzstan, for instance, where Intrepid Travel (16-day trips from $1,780 per person) runs small-group tours. Get your bearings first in the capital city of Bishkek and browse its colorful bazaars. Then set out for the great outdoors, exploring Djety Oguz valley’s dramatic sandstone cliffs, spending time with a nomadic family, and bedding down in pitched tents on Lake Issyk Kul’s mountain-rimmed shore. —Lindsey Olander
