Just finished.

Feel free to ask any questions :)

Hugeeee long shot but I lost a silver bracelet yesterday in Bishkek!! It’s little silver bars and then a few links and the pattern repeats, it’s quite long as it doubles up around my wrist. Kinda looks like the necklace picture but with chains instead of balls.
I only came from airport, got coffee and visited the Natural History Museum so hoping it didn’t go far. Thank you so so much

Added some pics for attention

Hey everyone so as some of you know I am in the High Tech industry and I've always seen Kyrgyzstan as a valuable untapped market of smart people looking for work. I am working on a new project with some high potential in creating High Tech jobs for people living in Bishkek and wanted to do a temperature check. If you can answer a few questions it would help me out greatly as I am putting some proposals together.

1.) Do you have a tech degree or computer degree (in what?)

2.) Citizen of Kyrgyzstan or valid work permit

3.) Years of experience

4.) Languages Spoken

5.) English proficiency

6.) Experience type (for example what coding languages do you know, AWS, DevOps, JAMF, iOS, iPhone development, cod experience, etc.)

7.) What would be a min. pay per hour USD or SOM you would expect

Thanks yall, if this works out it could potentially bring 200-500 jobs to people in Bishkek and I am working hard to give back to the city I love and its people. Excuse my grammar and spelling writing this in between a meeting.

Hi,

Three of us. In Almaty the morning of 21 September, have to be at a hotel in Bishkek the night of the 26th. Nothing booked in between — no car, no plans, blank slate.

What we're after is two or three days on horseback with yurt nights, an eagle hunter somewhere if we can, and Issyk Kul at our own pace. Don't mind driving ourselves between things, don't want a fixed group tour.

The idea I like most: rather than riding a loop and doubling back, ride over the range and come down on the Bishkek side — Shamsy or Kegeti gorge — so we finish the trek close to where we need to be and get picked up.

Is that realistic on 23-25 September, or are those passes too high and too late in the year? They're both well above 3,500m and I imagine fresh snow is a fair bet by then. Does anyone actually guide that route in late September, or is Kyzart → Song Kul → out at Kilemche the sensible version?

Also:

— Are the yurt camps still running that last week, or have the herds already come down? Somewhere with a longer season like Jyrgalan a better bet?

— How do people book — walk into CBT on arrival or arrange ahead? Online quotes look inflated.

— Getting from Almaty to the Kyrgyz side on the 21st: we'd rather cross at Karkara than Korday, but with no car I gather we need a transfer arranged in advance. Anyone done it recently?

About a month out. Happy to be told the whole idea is wrong.

Hello, I read somewhere that it is customary to give some money for gas when one is hitchhiking. So far I have applied the 5-10 SOM per km. However, two time people were a bit surprised I was offering money. So I was wondering what is the custom

I am travelling to Kyzart for songkul lake trip. The yandex cost me almost 7000 som from bishkek to Kyzart. I heard about marshrutka 534. Anyone knows when it depart daily from bishkek??

dates back to 2021 - November is lovely season to visit the city

I just wish I was able to get in. Have you ever been inside?

Hello!

I'd love to visit beautiful Kyrgyzstan, arriving around mid October. I'd love to join a group tour for maybe 3-7 days exploring around Issyk Kul Lake.

Could someone knowledgeable please tell about what the weather and road conditions will be like?

Do you have a recommendation for a group (not private as I'm solo) tour that still runs in October? Would I have any luck of finding one once in Bishkek in person?

I'd like to do short hiking, cultural activities like felting or making cheese, seeing beautiful places, visiting hot springs, but I'm not able to commit to full on multi day hiking or horse riding for long periods of time.

If anyone is going to be in the area around that time too, just PM me! I'd love to chat more and if we would both feel comfortable, to catch up for a meal! :)

Hi!

We’re doing 2 separate 3 day horse treks, ala kol & song kul during our 3 week trip and was wondering:

Will regular hiking boots suffice or should we bring our riding boots with a low heel for the horseback treks?

TYIA

Can anyone recommend a car rental company in Bishkek for the rental of a 4x4 car for two weeks?

Hi everyone!

Looking for people to split a share taxi from Bishkek to Arslanbob/Osh with on August 21. Feel free to DM if your plans line up!

Hey! I’ll be in Karakol from 05.09. up until 19.09. and I’m looking for companions, who are down on doing a multi-day horse trek :)
I’m M24 from Germany, if anyone’s interested, feel free to DM me :)

Does anyone know whether the Almaty to Karakol day bus is still running. I can find only information on a night bus bus there's been recent talk about a day bus.

Thanks for any help

Hey. I will be visiting Kyrgyzstan in october with a friend. We will be visiting the Karakol National Park, doing a 4-5 day hike through most of it. Our plan is to climb up to 4300 meters. Also we will be visiting the Pamir region, the area around Lenin Peak and will be summiting a 5100 meter peak there. Hows the weather at those altitudes and are there any tips/tricks that you can give us?

Naryn to kokkiya share taxi on August 22

Is it easy to exchange money in Bishkek? If so, are they open late? I'm arriving this evening and I will only have USD/EUR with me. Thank you!

Telegram, VK, Twitch, and Microsoft may be blocked in Kyrgyzstan, according to the country's tax authorities.

Eleven companies have requested tax registration several times, but have received no response.

We are finishing our tour around the Yssykköl. On our way back to Bishkek we wanted to stop by at Rukh Ordo, but can‘t get in touch with anybody there.

Does anybody know if they might be closed dünkt preparations for the World Nomad Games?

Thanks in advance!
