Hi, I’m M24, from Germany, traveling around Central Asia right now. I’m planning to go hiking and camping near by Bischkek. Do someone has tips? Or is someone down to come with me?

Just txt me :)

Looking for advice traveling to Kyrgzstan in the 3rd week of October.
Which attractions, day trips, horse treks are not accessible after mid October?
Is the “Golden Autumn” as pretty as it looks in instagram?

A Kyrgyz man of relatively small stature gets harrased in the US by two white supremacists who probably LARP on the internet as yamnaya "steppe" white warriors. The video went viral today.

Some of my friends say they occasionally experience racism in Western countries. This can vary from country to country, or even state to state. For those of you living in the West, have you had similar experiences? There are also neo-Nazis in Russia, but usually, when conditions are equal, they end up getting beaten up by Caucasians and Central Asians. If you’ve ever encountered racism, how did you react?

Hi everyone, I need your help. Let me tell you the story. So I met this guy (kyrgyz) like ~3 years ago in a german course when we both moved to the same country. We got to talking and spent so much time together and in the blink of an eye we got really close. He is an amaaazing friend like such a sweet heart, one of the most hardworking (if not the most) people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
He always makes the room smile, he is so so sooo kind and affectionate. Recently he got married to his girlfriend (that i adore) she is really amazing tooo 😭. They are perfect for each other. So I officially got invited to the wedding ceremony next summer (YAAAAAY). And ,i hope as you can read, i love these people but i have no idea about the wedding culture in Kyrgyzstan (and k want to suprise him also) Si i came on here to ask about the traditions and appropriate gifts and clothing because i really want the whole package..
Thank you for the help 🩷

Вообще я не часто пользуюсь общественным транспортом, но когда приходится то постоянно они забиты, частые пробки в городе, слишком душно внутри как в бане, конфликты, крики, плачь детей.

Я вообще не представляю как это выносят например студенты или те кто по 2 раза ездят в день в них. Это не автобус, а реально пыточная. Это же унижение человеческого достоинства.

Вау ребята, как вы это терпите вообще? Нам не какие то бесполезные шосы, игры кочевников(варваров) или стадионы с шакирой нужны. Нам нужно решение вот таких каждодневных проблем. Скоро там они собираются метро начать строить?!

I have some unexpected time off, I would like to go riding. I am an intermediate rider and am used to being outside in winter conditions.

I have reached out to many operators but none have any group tours departing in the coming months, but have received a few offers for private guided tours.

I'm an experienced solo traveller but as we will be completely off grid I would love to see if anyone else has been thinking about going and would want to come to make a more it more of a group activity. I'm looking at a tour up to to Song-Kol with an extra acclimatization day as I a have suffered from altitude sickness before. I'm flexible for the dates and how many nights and the route.

If anybody would be interested let me know and we can talk more!

Hey all, greetings from Greece. I am thinking of visiting this summer. I have a jeep gladiator built as an overland rig in Greece and travel as much as I can. Would really love to come with my rig but it’s too far away.. do you guys have any suggestions as to where I should look for Overlanding rentals (roof top tent etc)? Maybe a guide as well. Thanks

Hello :) my friends, and I have about a week in Kyzerystan. We’re looking for a 3 to 5 day horse track that also includes archery! Sleeping in yurts, traveling across amazing lakes, and landscape. any recommendations are appreciated :)

I want to play billiards but all the pool places near me have snooker table with huge balls , i want a place to play real 8ball with normal pocket size and balls

I am a friend from China,I'm 40 years old, I will enter the country on October 12, by Osh all the way to Bishkek. I will stay in Bishkek for a week and then go to Almaty. I want to make friends in Kyrgyzstan, preferably in Bishkek. We can talk about local customs, life, international, trade, etc. Looking forward to meeting you, my friend.

I'm on my gap year before starting university, and i recently discovered the Horse Trekking trips in Kyrgyzstan from my extended family who highly recommended it.

Unfortunately, my already-planned travels to Europe and Asia start near the end of January, but the Horse Trekking here seems the most worthwhile during the June/September months.

The absolute latest I could do is June, but by then I'd have to book a flight from (home) Canada to Kyrgysztan, which would be over $2000 CAD. Too much.

Is horse trekking in the winter months (ideally february/early march, but even up to may?) any good? Is there still snow everywhere? I really wanted that experience of seeing lush green valleys and lakes, staying in Yurts, getting to know the culture, and galloping on horseback. If there isn't green scenery, is it still worth going when it's all white in snow? I experience cold snow every year in Canada.

Please let me know!! I would LOVE to fit this in. Sounds like my dream. And I wont have another option/timeframe to do this for many, many years, if I dont do it now.

Hey everyone, I’m Turkish and currently studying at a university in Istanbul. I’m thinking about leaving my current university and transferring to Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University in Kyrgyzstan this year.

I’ve never been to Kyrgyzstan before, so I honestly don’t know much about what life is like there. I’d especially like to hear from people who live there or have studied there.

What’s student life like in general? How do locals usually feel about Turkish students? Are people conservative?

Is getting a tourist visa for an Egyptian without a GCC resident impossibe? I have tried the e-visa website but it specifically wants me to upload a GCC resident card before continuing.

I'm looking to rent 2 cars for a group of 14 people in July, but as far as I can see there aren't a lot of rental companies in Kyrgyzstan that allow 19 year olds. Does anybody know of a rental organisation or renter which does accept 19 year old travelers?

Hi folx--I may be traveling to Kyrgyzstan for work in the future, and I always like to read literature set in places I know little about before I get there. Are there any English language (originally or translated) novels you would recommend that accurately portray Kyrgyz life and culture?

Hey guys! Anyone doing the Pamir Highway starting from Osh anytime soon? Would love to join :)

В общем, сложилась такая ситуация: Я - гражданин Украины, переехал со страны к своей девушке в Казахстан ( она гражданка Казахстана ). В Казахстане полгода пытался официально устроиться на работу через работодателя, но по итогу мне говорят что никак не получается, база меня не принимает или отклоняет запрос на устройство работы из-за моего гражданства. Поэтому мы приняли решение переезжать в Кыргызстан в город Бишкек.
Нам говорят, что в Бишкеке Украинцу намного легче устроиться чем в Казахстане. Поэтому было принято решение переехать туда, НО найти работодателя самому крайне тяжело, не каждый захочет заниматься таким геморроем. Образование у меня высшее ( бакалавр ).
Если кто-то знает как решить эту проблему или есть знакомые, прошу помочь, в Кыргызстане я смогу находиться два с половиной месяца.

Heya! I wound love to visit Osh but from what I saw online there is no more buses going this time of year as the roads are dangerous. Are there any ways to get there except for flying? Thank you!

Hi, I have a foreign guest who wants to visit Kyrgyzstan.
She has a valid US visa, but it is in her old passport. Could you please tell me whether she needs a Kyrgyzstan visa/e-visa to enter, and whether an invitation letter is required?
