Discover Koshoy-Korgon, one of Kyrgyzstan’s fascinating historical landmarks, located in the picturesque At-Bashy Valley of the Naryn region. Surrounded by sweeping mountain landscapes, the remains of this medieval fortress offer a glimpse into the country’s rich past and the ancient routes that once connected Central Asia with the wider world.
The fortress takes its name from Koshoy, a legendary warrior and trusted companion of Manas, the hero of Kyrgyzstan’s great national epic. According to local tradition, Koshoy was associated with the construction of the stronghold. Today, its impressive earthen walls stand as a reminder of the fortified settlements that once occupied this part of the Tian Shan Mountains.
