A new documentary series, Off Road, filmed in Kyrgyzstan by Faraway Road Productions, has premiered on the global streaming platform Netflix.

The project was produced in collaboration with Kyrgyzstan’s Ministry of Economy and Commerce, the Department of Tourism, and the Tourism Development Support Fund, all of whom played key roles in facilitating filming across the country.

Off Road takes viewers on a thrilling automotive adventure across some of Kyrgyzstan’s most breathtaking landscapes from the capital Bishkek to the high mountain valleys of Issyk-Kul, Karakol, and other iconic destinations. Over six episodes, the series immerses audiences in the country’s natural beauty, vibrant culture, and the renowned hospitality of the Kyrgyz people.

Edil Baisalov, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, emphasized the significance of the series:

“Thanks to the release of Off Road, millions of viewers around the world will discover the stunning nature of Kyrgyzstan and the traditional warmth of our people. We are grateful to the production company and Netflix for choosing Kyrgyzstan as a filming location. Next year, several additional films and series are expected to launch, further promoting our country’s tourism potential on Netflix and other international platforms.”

More than a backdrop, Kyrgyzstan emerges as the true protagonist of Off Road, inviting global audiences to experience its rugged terrain, rich traditions, and unspoiled beauty.
