Country: Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan is a spectacular mountainous country in Central Asia where more than 90% of its territory rises above 1,500 meters above sea level. Dominated by the imposing Tian Shan and Pamir-Alay mountain ranges, the country stands out for its high alpine meadows ('jailoos'), crystalline lakes such as the immense Issyk-Kul and the remote Song-Kul, its deep-rooted semi-nomadic equestrian culture and a pioneering community-based tourism (CBT) network that allows you to live closely with local families.

Capital: Bishkek

Tips for Budget

Community Tourism (CBT) and Yurt Stays

Kyrgyzstan has one of the most developed and awarded Community Based Tourism (CBT) networks in the world. Through their local offices in towns and valleys, it is possible to hire local guides, rent horses, organize porters and stay in authentic rural family houses ('homestays') or yurt camps, directly supporting the local economy.

Transportation, Marshrutkas and Shared Taxis

To move between cities and towns, 'marshrutkas' (very cheap public minibuses that leave from the stations when they are full) or shared taxis are used, where you pay per seat. To access remote mountain areas such as Song-Kul, Tash Rabat or Kel-Suu, it is essential to hire a 4x4 all-terrain vehicle with a driver or rent it on your own.

Currency, Payments (Kyrgyz Som) and Connectivity

The official currency is the Kyrgyz Som (KGS). In Bishkek and Osh, credit cards are accepted in hotels, restaurants and supermarkets, but as soon as you go to valleys and mountain towns, cash payment is essential. Local SIM cards (O!, Beeline or MegaCom) are very cheap and offer good mobile data coverage on almost all main roads.
