Cours de cuisine, villages, artisanat… Vivez la Thaïlande autrement.

Sur les rives orientales du lac Issyk-Koul, l'aube se lève sur les yourtes blanches de Bokonbaevo. L'odeur du pain tandyr cuit à même la terre se mêle au souffle des chevaux qui s'ébrouent dans la rosée. Un aigle royal patiente sur le poing de son maître berkutchi, prêt pour la démonstration de chasse traditionnelle.

Le Kirghizistan se vit au rythme de ses habitants, encore profondément attachés au nomadisme pastoral. Dormir en yourte chez une famille kirghize, partager le kymyz fermenté et écouter les récits du Manas, l'épopée millénaire de 500 000 vers : ces moments composent la trame de nos itinéraires. Nos guides francophones, originaires des vallées de Naryn ou de Karakol, ouvrent les portes de leurs villages d'enfance.

Nos équipes sur place ont sélectionné des expériences locales au Kirghizistan qui font sens, loin des circuits aseptisés :

  • Transhumance d'été vers les jailoos de Song-Köl, à 3 016 mètres d'altitude, avec une famille d'éleveurs
  • Initiation au feutrage du shyrdak, tapis traditionnel reconnu par l'UNESCO
  • Démonstration de kok-boru, le rugby équestre national pratiqué avec une carcasse de chèvre
  • Atelier de cuisine autour du beshbarmak dans une ferme de la vallée de Suusamyr
  • Rencontre avec les derniers chasseurs à l'aigle de la région d'Issyk-Koul

Ces articles rédigés depuis nos bureaux de Bichkek partagent ce que l'on apprend en vivant ici toute l'année : les bonnes saisons pour chaque vallée, les codes de l'hospitalité kirghize, les festivals qui rythment l'été dans la chaîne du Tian Shan.
