Most parts of Kyrgyzstan are mountainous, with countless glaciers and lakes. Nature presents itself rough yet beautiful and lonely. The Tien Shan mountains and the old Silkroad traverse the country from east to west. Many of the countless peaks, which can tower up from 3000m to over 7000m of altitude, are without name or even unclimbed. Since the Sovjet era the population is multiethnic, of which most are Kyrgyz. Many still live as nomads.
