Hello everyone

My name is Noors, I am from Bishkek. Recently I see a lot of posts about Kyrgyzstan on reddit, instagram and I am very surprised honestly. When I was young nobody outside knew about us, only maybe some geography teachers lol

But now I see people asking about Ala-Kul, Song-Kol, Karakol, Osh... it is really nice feeling.

The problem is I also see people struggle. Bad information online, difficult to find transport, not knowing who is honest guide and who is just taking money. It makes me a bit sad because our country is beautiful but the experience sometimes is not so good for visitors.

I want to ask you - if you visited Kyrgyzstan or planning to come:

• what was most difficult for you?
• what information you could not find?
• what you wish someone told you before?

I am not guide, not selling anything. Just local person who wants visitors to have good time here. Maybe I can help someone, maybe I learn something too.

Also happy to answer questions about country if you have.
