Day-trips from Bishkek without a car

Hi all

Does anyone have any ideas for a day/weekend trip from Bishkek? Ideally accessible by taxi/bus.

Will be in June, happy to do a day trip and return back to accommodation in Bishkek or a weekend trip and stay somewhere there.

I'll have just finished an 8 day trek so I will probably be physically exhausted to do any other big hikes.

Travel questions

Hi all

A few questions for my upcoming trip to Kyrgyzstan! I will be going for a few weeks in June to Bishkek and Song-Kul among other places

  1. Is it safe? I figure it's far enough from the dangerous things happening in the Middle East. I am Australian so I'd hope they don't think I'm American :D

  2. How cold does it get in summer in the mountains?

  3. Any apps I should download before arriving?

  4. When paying cash, I have USD - will they give me USD in change or is it more likely to get Kyrgyz currency?

Any other general advice is welcomed, thanks.
