Kyrgyzstan is a country in Central-Asia, with a lot of nature and mountains. This country is easy to reach from both Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The main highlight is the beautiful nature of the country. On this page I will describe the important information for traveling to this country, and link to travel guides for the area around Bishkek.

Required applications

The apps that will make your life a lot easier are Yandex Maps and Yandex Go.

Yandex Maps

Google Maps does work in Kyrgyzstan, but has a lot of outdated information. I recommend you download Yandex Maps, and use this for navigation during your time in this country.

Yandex Go

This is the local taxi application, from which you can order a taxi online. I would recommend always using this app, when ordering a taxi, since you get an indication of the price for the ride.

Visa

In 2026, you can enter Kyrgyzstan easily with a 30 day visa free period. The immigration process is very easy. I would recommend checking your local government advice for the latest visa information.
