Saw this arc in the sky tonight at Issyk Kul lake Kyrgyzstan. Visible with the naked eye and dissappeared after a couple of minutes. I thougt maybe it is a comet, but it doesnt look like it and also it shouldnt dissappear.
Google image search is not very helpful.
Anyone knows what this is?
Is it possible to drive from Tash Rabat to Kel Suu via the road west of Torugart? On the internet I only read about people taking the road from the east (via Bosogo).
hello, i have a problem. i have to get to new bishkek bus station from chuo avenue / train station 2.
buses don't accept foreign credit card, don't accept cash and i tried to download the tulpac app but they don't send the sms to my italian number.
my yandex doesn't work, and i don't understand why.
are there any marshrutka from chuo avenue / train station to the new bus station?
when i arrived i was lucky to find the bus 8t and the driver told me i can get on without a ticket. but i can't hope in the good mood of a driver every time.
Is anyone planning a trip to Kyrgyzstan this summer(from mid July) and interested in joining a small shared tour? If so, drop a comment or send me a DM!
Hey guys,
If anyone is travelling late August, would love to have people to travel with. Planning to go around 17 Aug or so, and would love to do horse riding in the valleys and such. Would also be good to rent a 4x4. I enjoy cinematic travel type videos but happy to really film anything and everything!
Not trying to start a debate or anything. But I noticed there are lot of atheists in this sub, so I was wondering if this was common in kyrgyztan, or is it just like a small minority.
I'm spending time around Issy-kul and then planning to head to Bukhara - and I saw online that there are plenty of flights from Issy-kul. Is this really a thing? I can't find anyone online that has flown out of this airport! Airlines offered : Uzbekistan, Tezjet, and Air Astana. If you have recommendations please let me know!
I’m Turkish, will have one day in Bishkek before heading to the mountains and came up with the following idea.
Is there any local studying Turkish and would like to practice with me while showing me around? It’s not that I cannot check around by myself. I can very much do. But I love connecting with locals when I travel and I am curious about the languages and if we could really communicate with each other when we spoke our own language in a conversation.
I would of course treat this as a guided tour and support financially if I find a student for this exchange.
I've had issues connecting my credit cards with Yandex Go in Kyrgyzstan. I really hated using cash for every ride here, and I wanted to use the e-scooters, so I got perhaps obsessive in trying to connect my credit cards.
I had 50-100 attempts across 6 different credit cards without success. Each time I was charged 11¢.
3 weeks later, that never refunded me. Yandex stole $5-10 from me in authorization attempts.
I feel like I'm being trolled. This is ridiculous.
It takes several minutes for me to go through the process for each 11¢ charge, so I'm not even going to try to get refunded this with my bank.
Hey, I'm planning to visit Kyrgyzstan between 12 September and 25 September. How is it for trekking and weather at this time of year? Will ala kul trek be possible around the 18 September?
Could either do it camping or via yurts. Anyone's recent experience in September there is appreciated! Thank you!
We found a puppy on the highway to Naryn.
We took it in the car.
We are driving to Kolsuu tomorrow. What do we do with the puppy?
Is there a rescue organization we can get in touch with?
We will fly back to Germany on the 12th of July (in just 9 days).
We can take the pup with us all the wag back to Bishkek if it is easier to connect with an organization
I can't understand why would people choose name by their religion than by their culture.
Is it because we're becoming more islamic country because of social media?
What you think makes Islam in recent years become more popular amongst our people?
I am planning to do mbbs in ihsm or ksma , which one is better , kindly suggest best
Hi! We're a couple looking for people to share transport (or a driver) in southeastern Kazakhstan between 6–9 July. We’d be happy to join an existing group or organize something together.
I’m posting this here as well because we’ll be crossing into Kazakhstan from Karakol in Kyrgyzstan, and I thought there might be other travellers doing the same route around those dates.
Our current plan is:
6 July
- Take the bus from Karakol to Almaty and get off at Kegen
- From there, continue to Saty (either by shared taxi or with a pre-arranged driver from Kegen or even from the Kyrgyz–Kazakh border)
- If we arrive early enough, visit Kolsai Lake in the afternoon
7 July
- Kaindy Lake, Charyn Canyon
- Continue to Basshi
8 July
- Altyn Emel National Park (Singing Dune + Aktau Mountains)
- Overnight in Basshi
9 July
Basshi → Almaty in the morning
If you’re travelling around the same time—even if only for part of the route—we’d love to share a car and split the costs.
I’ve already gathered some information about driver prices and rental car options, so I’m happy to help organize everything and share the details with anyone interested. Feel free to send me a message!
Greetings to all of you.
I need some urgent help and I believe reddit is the way to go. I am trying to book a visa appointment for my girlfriend (Kyrgyz Citizen) who is currently living in Kyrgyzstan. All her documents required for visa are ready but unfortunately the VFS global website, specifically the payment gateway has been a issue. I am trying to get a appointment for Malta(long term D visa). I am able to login, fill in everything and even choose the date but then when i press pay now, even before the payment page comes in(to put in card info etc..) the page shows error message. I will attach the photo as well. I tried everything different browsers cleared cookies and cache, even she tried booking through her devices ( as i m located in malta already) but nothing works
I am sure someone would know someone in VFS global Bishkek. Kindly please connect me. I need to book her appointment immediately otherwise the workpermit will expire and all the money spent until now will be of no use. KINDLY ASSIST 😭🙏🏼
Салам,
I would like to know about how men dress in Bishkek. I want to know:
• How clothing differs by age range/demographic, and compared to other countries (CIS or further abroad, Western and Eastern etc)
• How university students dress for classes
• Where to buy men’s clothing in Bishkek
• Whether or not second-hand clothing commonly bought (for non-economical reasons)
• If you have any, your opinions on how men dress in Bishkek!
Рахмат)
пиздец, я мылась и только хотела пену с тела и бальзам с волос смыть, как отключили электричество. ебать, 8 утра, ссуууккк. я живу в деревне под Ноокатом. хочу узнать, как в Бишкеке с этим обстоят дела. хотя ладно, люди со всего Кыргызстана, поделитесь, как у вас там с водой и светом?
я хз, как у остальных, но у нас стоит бочка на полтонны воды, буферная ёмкость на случай, если воду отключат видимо, в неё вода поступает из внешней сети, а затем с помощью насоса вода гонится в водопроводную сеть дома. но насос работает за счёт электричества, а электричество у нас отключают регулярно и без предупреждений, конечно же. сижу теперь и кипячу воду. заебали бля
