Travelling to Batken: Kyrgyzstan’s Isolated Conflict Zone

Batken is the remotest region in Kyrgyzstan, and I travelled here to find out if it's worth the journey—or if its troubled history makes it a place to skip. This rarely-visited region is defined by a maze of enclaves and a legacy of ethnic conflict that has shaped life here since the fall of the USSR. In this video, I explore the reality of the Batken region, a place where the borders between Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan collide. While the scenery is rugged and unique, I spend much of this episode discussing the ethnic tensions that have plagued the area for decades. From Stalin’s complicated border-mapping to modern-day struggles for stability, this is an honest look at a province that feels completely disconnected from the rest of the country. If you’re interested in the complicated geopolitics of Central Asia or unusual "unheard-of" travel destinations, this guide to Batken will give you the full picture. You've even see Peak Lenin - the highest mountain peak in the country... Enjoy more videos about Kyrgyzstan here:    • Kyrgyzstan
