Gorod Bishkek Travel Forum

I just started to work in Bishkek for a year and would like to meet some people outside my own organisation who'd like to go out for a beer occasionally (locals or expats). For me a chance to learn more about the city and the country, for you it could be an opportunity to practise your English.

I am looking at traveling to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan this October for a short trip. I have received mixed information on flights transiting Moscow SVO airport. If I do not depart terminal is it neccesary to obtain a Russian visa.

I know that I can get my Kyrgyzstan visa once arriving at the Bishkek airport but want to avoid possible problems in Moscow.

Any information would be appreciated.

I'd so love to know about bushkek a bit and then I'd wanna know about the flights that fly there from malmö, Swedon or copenhagen, Denmark. And i wanna do it between 25th of july n come back shall be before 20th of august. Would be so nice of if i get to know about the cheapest way to get there or fly. Would be even more helpfull if i get some info about the visa and stuff!!! thanx

Dear all,
we are planning to visit Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in April/May.
Does anybody know how long does it take to go from Bishkek to Tashkent overland and if it is safer to
(a) book a private tour/transfer with a guy with a jeep or something;
(b) Take a train, possibly an overnight train
(c) Take a public bus
Thank you for the help!

Hi guys - I am working in Bishkek last week of July and have a few days to spend exploring from Friday 28th to Tuesday 1st August. I'm particularly interested in trekking areas with wildlife so any ideas greatly appreciated. Also any advice on must-see places in Bishkek itself would be good to keep me occupied!

Cheers

June 21, 2006 or there abouts, till about July 5:

I fly into Manas and would like to see a friendly face when I arrive.

I know I can get Visa for Kyrgyzstan, but can I get it for Kazakhstan there also? Or maybe at the Embassy in Bishkek?

I heard I could get an instant Visa, for the right price, to enter China, at the border. How true is that?

I would like a companion, on and off for about two weeks.

I need to go to the Embassy for certified documents.

Are there ATM's to get money? Is VISA accepted? I assume U.S. dollars are.

Need to get passport stamp at Kazakhstan border and/or China border.

I don't mind paying for the help to accomplish this, i.e. a tour guide.

How is the rail system to China?

Business first, then would like to go hiking or to the lake and just have fun.

Any assistance for the tour guide part or just information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
