Hi hello 👋 I am from India , can you please tell me if Kyrgyz people are Muslims or not ? Because on internet it says majority of people there are muslims but when I see video of Uzbekistan , Khazakistan & Kyrgyzstan , I don't see many Muslims 🥲 Why ?
I lived in Bishkek for 3 years. Loved it! I can relate to almost everything you said. Very nice review! For me the major downside was the unbearable air pollution in winter. In my opinion you missed one very important point about this awesome city: The mountains are only 45 min away from the center!! Ala Archa and Alamedin are unbelievably beautiful valleys. Moreover, Ratsek Hut in Ala Archa is something like a mountaineering Mecca with peaks like Corona :-) Uchitel, Free Korea, Boks, Teke Tor, etc...
@TheMrBussy, I can tell you even more. I lived in Bishkek (unfortunately at the time the Kyrgyz people decide to call it "Pishpek" I lived there for 11 years since my birth. My relatives (tatar) always were against renaming the city into Pishpek. The Kyrgyz people know that it is a very shameful name for a city, and they know so too.
Dude let's just replace the word Cheap with reasonable or Affordable prices !!! If we keep on saying to them your country is cheap they'll raise all their prices and it ain't good after all as some Egyptian and Syrian friends told me... Trust me. I'm an Arab traveler from Bahrain and I've seen Bosnia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Iran raising their prices because of such words we say about these countries!!!!!
@@videofan1010 Indeed it is an amazing & affordable country.. I was there in Bishkek just last August. If you're talking about their local food; it's delicious and nutrious though if you go to any Cafe or Resto around Bishkek mall and city centers food is Turkish in style and prices are like Istanbul high. Secondly, the clothes and stuff that they produce locally or imported from Uzbekistan is just affordable, though Intl. Brands have the same prices anywhere.. and some are more expensive than Dubai or Bahrain... One last thing about the Kyrgyz people is that they are really kind, content and minding themselves.. You wouldn't find alot of them sticking their noses or asking you for money like some other countries. This Turkic nation is very peace loving and prideful in what they believe or do. MANAS IS THEIR NATIONAL HERO AFTERALL 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 🙏 Actually, it is cheap compare to other countries, but it’s not as cheap as for foreigners because locals (is me) take a salary based on our prices, so isn’t so cheap for us:(
Born and raised in Bishkek up until about 12 years of age, and then we immigrated to Toronto, Canada. I can attest - Bishkek winters are not that bad! :) Try Toronto winters for 6 months out of the year, its brutal.
Kyrgyzstan is one of the best beautiful country in the the world , there people are so rooted to their land and culture . I have lived my best days of life in bishkek,it's like my second home . Everything what you told is correct but I want to add something that in night as a foreigner it's sometimes dangerous in the street bcoz some drunk or bad local in night or infact in day can beat & rob you anytime this is what is the most disturbing thing . But I like kyrgyz people they are so humble. Bishkek has best bars, cafe , restaurant, malls , Kyrgyz girls are beautiful. Ya tebia lublu bishkek ❤️
Hi, in four weeks i will visit Bishkek for about ten days. I am turkish and is it true, that they have a lot of respect to turkish people, even the police, because of the good relation between turkey and the turkic countries? Thanks
I lived there 10 years. I liked it a lot. I don’t think I’ll retire there though. Winter is way to harsh and my wife is from Mindanao. It’s the Philippines for this guy. If I find myself back in Bishkek it will be because I got dumped and Kyrgyzstan is all I can afford and still be somewhat happy😂
Don‘t forget to mention the dry air. I‘ve been in Bishkek for 5 times, and every time on the second week onwards I get a throat ache because not having enough moist damaged my throat, and bacteria are easier to stick. Besides that, I fell in love in that place, and the people, to the point of even considering marrying and living there. 😊
Loved Bishkek and Isakul. Visited in June 2019, a few months before the nightmare of covid started. Bishkek and suburbs of Dallas are quite similar in peace and tranquility.
Corruption was so true. I was stopped by the police at a square in Bishkek because I definitely looked a foreign Asian face to them. They wanted to check my passport pouch in front of me and my friend, and when they gave it back to me I noticed that some of my USDs had gone, but not my Euros though. It was in 2013-4. There is still a lot of things the government has to do for foreigners and tourists. Kyrgyzstan is really a beautiful and friendly country if not the corruptive system.
the same happened to me in 2009. was stopped by 2 cops while strolling in bishkek (city centre) and asked for my pasport. when they got it, start to moan about the hard life in kyrgyzstan and if i as a foreign tourist from a rich country cant be more helpfull to their country. are they think, we don't have to work for our money in our countres or what? anyway, i gave them 10 dollars and off i went. was not nice. but who cares. could be worse.
This is awesome, thank you for sharing. All you said is so accurate, great city and people, the food is so so good! About the corrupt road patrol- nailed it (some things never change 😭 ) .
The winter is not as bad as he makes it out to be. The temperature regime is about the same as Boston, and the snow cover comes and goes throughout the winter. Seldom snows more than 4" deep. There is very little wind & I assume it is the mountains that keep the winds out. The cops are on the take, so I don't drive. If you hire a local driver, they know the cops and seldom have to pay anything.
It’s an amazing place to travel that’s for sure! I’d live there if there was a lot of opportunities for careers for me. Travelling Kyrgyzstan is an amazing adventure. Thanks for the video!
Hi hello 👋 I am from India , can you please tell me if Kyrgyz people are Muslims or not ? Because on internet it says majority of people there are muslims but when I see video of Uzbekistan , Khazakistan & Kyrgyzstan , I don't see many Muslims 🥲 Why ?

After the first bribe, I just hid all my money out of view and pretended to not understand and not speak a word of Armenian and the police at stops #2-4 eventually just gave up out of frustration. Small victories…
Ok the salary is low.... But similar to the philpippines And it's twice the price of kyrgezstan I never felt in danger Or corrupt cops etc I love the place
I have traveled to most of the former Soviet republics and I think Bishkek was the best place to practice Russian because the locals are usually very friendly

After Russia-Ukraine war, many things has changed. Many Russian fled to Kyrgyzstan. The prices in general and rent prices have raised sharply and a taxi for short distance cost few dollars. People also don't know English which makes interaction hard. People are only friendly toward western tourists. There are scammers. Short roads and lots of traffic jam.

@@whatyoudoin3125 Hi, no worries, everything will be fine. I saw some tourists from India in KG. Yes, Muslim country, but everyone is welcome there. They are not arab muslims, they are turcic muslims. Arab muslims are always full covered. When you arrive at airport Manas in Bishkek, your hotel should send a taxi for you, because many scammers at airport. Visit their mountains and lakes. One contra point is, about 80-90% of their people don't know English. So if you have a russian speaker friend, it would help you. Don't be surprised, when they don't know English even at airport, in hotels, restaurants, shopping malls. Most common language there is russian, number two is kyrgyz, number three is turkish. Have a good time there 👍🏻
Trying to map out a central Asia trip right now. Since you are headed to Uzbekistan soon yourself, do you know if you can exit the country at the Dostyk border as a US citizen? I know you can only fly in, but I want to enter Uzbekistan via land if I can.
Normally you should be able to cross the border at Dostuk. However, I am not sure, if you can cross it at the moment because of Corona. You should check that. You could contact the CBT office in Osh (cbtkyrgyzstan.kg/cbt-osh/). This post here describes the situation during "normal" times: caravanistan.com/border-crossings/uzbekistan/#uzbekistan-%e2%80%93-kyrgyzstan-border-crossings
Thanks for the amazing video, I am planning to travel to Bishkek soon to practise my Russian just I want to ask you about dating? it is easy to date with kyrkiz girls?🙂
Yes, you can. But try to talk to girls who works for NGO. They are feminists, they speak English. Duck them all. It’s pretty easy to get them if you are white. 😂
How’s the visa situation? Can I come long term on a tourist visa, or do you need a business visa? I don’t have a degree to teach English and idk if you need a bunch of paperwork to get a long term visa. Curious if you can just Indefinitely renew a tourist visa here.
Going to Bishkek for a wedding soon. Slightly worried about the Taliban/Afgan thing going on now, and large amounts of refugees entering Kyrgyzstan from the south. In general, it appears to be safe in Bishkek (from 2019 reviews), other than the usual pickpocket warning. Are there any dangers you felt there due to terrorism, Taliban, kidnapping, political unrest? Any safety concerns (or warnings) you may have over these past few months?
I know your comment is old but look at a map and you can see Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan are quite far from each other. Also, the Taliban could care less about what goes on outside of the country, they mainly want to oppress their own people, they don’t care about what goes on in Kyrgyzstan. Why would there be political unrest? Nobody even cares about what goes on in Afghanistan sadly, if anything, nobody in Kyrgyzstan would want Afghan refugees or anything to do with Afghans. Lastly, you mention refugees as if they are dangerous? The US and CAN alone took millions of refugees, my dad worked with the military to bring in Afghan refugees, they are humans like you and me why would they have anything to do with any of the political agenda that the Taliban would have?
Нас кыргызов очень малое количество, но мы очень воинственный и храбрый народ, мы потомки великого Манаса ☝ и за свою родину будем сражаться до конца, гостей и друзей уважаем, каждый кыргыз уступит самое почётное место в своём доме другу или же гостю ☺
Sounds similar to visiting Russia in 2008. Locals prefer not to drive. It’s dangerous & petrol is expensive. Surprisingly, many our generation does understand a little in English and like to speak it as well.

No we don't pay half that, rent is the same for everyone, it just means he had a nice apartment. But it's not the case anymore because of the war a lot of russians came in and inflated the market but that's another thing
I enjoyed watching this! Reading about Russians fleeing here to get away from Putin led me here. So many places in the world to visit. Are there any black people there? Black people from Africa, at least?
This is not Thailands Pattaya or other who*e nation country. For that kinda words you will lose your head on your neck. So don't even think about visiting this country if you have that kind of intentions.
@@uxaines8910 Are you stupid or what? Do you think i g0 there for prostitution vacation ? I just want to know people from the country and make friends maybe, whats wrong with you?
One of your pros is not a pro for me 😅 I don't think there are too many people of African descent in the city, so I don't think I would blend as well as you claim. If I was European, Asian, or Eurasian, maybe.
@@ynosnonac7311 - I have lived here for almost 5 months and can say you're absolutely wrong about that. Not having a history due to lack of exposure doesn't mean people aren't prejudice or discriminatory toward Black people.

There are apps for that
Yandex sets the price like Uber.
How much bribe money should I bring?
$100
Bad weather? What??? 😄
❤
So why are you paying 400USDs if the locals pay half that?because it would be next to impossible to get local price because locals arent stupid.
No we don't pay half that, rent is the same for everyone, it just means he had a nice apartment. But it's not the case anymore because of the war a lot of russians came in and inflated the market but that's another thing
@@australianpainter42069 so what is the price now, say for 2 bedroom app? thanks
Have you met Valentina shevchenko

@@TalesFromTheRoad oh for sure a ufc champ with some of the most title defenses she lives there

Yes, if you not keep speed limit, they will try make money traffic police but not so terrible
About the bribe. In west countries, "tips" on everything was shocking to me too
Do they accept American 1 dollar bills for tips or bribes?
I enjoyed watching this! Reading about Russians fleeing here to get away from Putin led me here.
So many places in the world to visit. Are there any black people there? Black people from Africa, at least?
I saw some Black people in Bishkek
Да есть можешь не сомневаться но мало

Сейчас нету такой подход полиция боится денег брать.
how is the internet? How are the girls?
Internet good, girls better!
This is not Thailands Pattaya or other who*e nation country. For that kinda words you will lose your head on your neck. So don't even think about visiting this country if you have that kind of intentions.
@@uxaines8910 Are you stupid or what? Do you think i g0 there for prostitution vacation ? I just want to know people from the country and make friends maybe, whats wrong with you?
God hid all the beautiful women in Kyrgyzstan. Just be careful as a foreigner. Your wallet will be a target for chaikas!!!!
@@summ466 it literally sounds like a you are going to my country for it.
Where are people... Why no one is there.
Where do you recommend to find an apartment on the local market?
Im from Kyrgyztan my name is Miran
How much should you bribe the cops?
How much in usd did you pay for the police each time you got caught haha?
One of your pros is not a pro for me 😅 I don't think there are too many people of African descent in the city, so I don't think I would blend as well as you claim. If I was European, Asian, or Eurasian, maybe.
@@ynosnonac7311 - I have lived here for almost 5 months and can say you're absolutely wrong about that. Not having a history due to lack of exposure doesn't mean people aren't prejudice or discriminatory toward Black people. I've had enough negative experiences here to know that there are plenty of people who specifically do things to me be I'm a black woman and my presence is uncommon here.
@@Arri7979 sorry about your experience, i could just suggest you to avoid some places where the less cultured people live/go to and you should be fine
Can you get rid of the aweful music in your video?
Nowadays young people speak English. At least many speak English. I'd say broken English
Krykistan usbakistan n tajaskistan which country is good for settle down or Albania which person we can meet for my paper work n visa if you know some one pls send me whatssup no thanking you

Don't say ,Kriki,Uzbak 😅, it means very bad words.
@@beautyweapon4394 ok it fine but never give reply which country is good
@@hamdanshaikh9067 this countries don't need immigrants, they have many problems, no jobs, many central asians work in russia. Also foreigners get scammed, and get jailed, if you give money, about $100K they will let you go. Local criminals take foreigners businesses by force, especially in Kyrgyzstan. So its dangerous
I nearly died there after being scamed by the mafia and locked in jail ^^ but i love the country
