Kyrgyzstan?

Somehow over coffee yesterday evening, the subject of Kyrgyzstan came up.  Here are some interesting links showing off the country:

10 Reasons to Visit the Only Country Where North Koreans Can Also (Messy Nessy)

A Bikepacking Adventure in Kyrgyzstan (Dirt Rag)

5 Cool and Unusual Things to Do in Kyrgyzstan (Atlas Obscura)

Adding the description "unusual" is probably redundant on that last one.

Looks interesting, but on the whole I'd rather just visit Colorado again.
