Ysyk-Kol Oblasty Travel Forum

HI!
I am planning a trip through Asia and Kyrgyz is on my list. I will have only around 4 or 5 days here. ( tight schedule)
Looking for some fun novice walking partners for a lazy walk around Karakol area, stay in a fun yurt or one of those fun lodges, a visit to the sanatorium and soak in the thermal waters, Holy Trinity Cathedral, campfire, etc.

Is it possible to get a KYRGYZ tourist visa at the airport on arrival? How much is this visa? I accept any good advice from you!

I am planning to spend 2 months in karakol this summer...but i after some scary reviews over there...i feel like i am visiting hell..and not a tourist destination..i prefer night life..but i can go to discos now fearing that i ll get beaten up.

i plan to arrive to the area in 2-3 october.
i want to stay few days in nomadic camp.
is it too late or it is still good time for that ?
where is the best place in the area to be with the nomadic ?
near Yssyk-kol, near Song-kol ? any other place ?

We are planning going Yssyk-Kol, probably Cholpan-Ata in August 2005. Should I book for accommodation now? or can we get accommodation when we get there. Thank you in advance for replies.
