Kurbu is a village in the Issyk Kul Province of Kyrgyzstan.

Tourism

On the plateau between the north shore of Lake Issyk Kul and the Kyungei Alatau Range (near Tamchy)

The province, which resembles the Alps or Colorado, would be a major tourist destination were it not for its remoteness, underdeveloped infrastructure, and growing conflict between Kyrgyz nationalists and independence factions, which in December 2008 flared up again, killing 39 civilians. Currently, it is visited mostly by locals who use the Soviet-era establishments around the lake and the more adventurous sort of international tourist.
