An Ethno-Festival Took Place in At-Bashy Near the Walls of the Ancient Caravanserai Tash-Rabat
This event, organized at the initiative of the presidential representative in the Naryn region, gathered many enthusiasts of ethnotourism and guests.
The focus was on the exhibition "Uluu Daaм," where visitors could taste dishes from Kyrgyz cuisine. Local artisans and craftsmen from the At-Bashy district showcased their unique handmade products that preserve the region's traditions.
Guests were offered interactive platforms:
- master classes on making kuurma tea and frying boorsoks;
- a fashion show featuring modern clothing in the ethno-fashion style.
Demonstrations of traditional hunting and sports games sparked particular interest among the audience. They could see elements of "Salbuurun," archery, hunting with golden eagles, and the game "Ordo." The festive atmosphere was supported by concerts from local folklore groups.
The festival concluded with excursions to the famous caravanserai Tash-Rabat — one of the significant stops on the Great Silk Road. Participants learned about its architectural features, history, and sacred significance for the culture of Central Asia.
