The region is bleak and depressing
People often assume Central Asia as an area full of dullness and appalling but in fact, each country there has its own unique tourist destination. It has the most picturesque locations that leave people fascinated and craving more.
In Kazakhstan, many tourists are captivated by the natural beauty of the vast tulip fields, apple orchards stretching on the green steppe, or the emerald-green lakes reflecting the vast sky. The road to Lake Issyk is one of the most beautiful autumn roads in Kazakhstan. About 70km from Almaty, Lake Issyk can be easily reached in half a day. The lake's water is as green as jade, which is melted ice from Tien Shan Mountains.
Kyrgyzstan is a land of mountains and sometimes is called “Central Asian Switzerland” due to its magnificent natural beauty. Highlights of this country include Son Kol, an alpine lake at an elevation of 3016 meters, and the breathtakingly gorgeous lakes hidden between the mountains.
Tajikistan, which is a landlocked country located along the ancient Silk Road, is renowned for its majestic mountains, lovely villages, and mineral-rich hot springs. This mountainous region's features include breathtaking glaciers and lakes in the east.
In conclusion, although there are steppe, semi-desert and desert ecosystems in Central Asia, the area featured diverse natural beauty that is worth experiencing in person.
