Bishkek Travel Safety Guide — Kyrgyzstan

Safety Score: 7.5/10 · Value: 9.5/10 · Beauty: 7.8/10

Bishkek is the base for one of Central Asia's most beautiful countries, a place of high peaks, wide summer pastures called jailoos, and shepherds who still move their animals up to the mountains each year. The city itself is a Soviet-built capital of leafy boulevards that is pleasant enough but mostly useful as a launchpad. What you really come for is just outside it: the Ala-Archa gorge half an hour away, the Tian Shan mountains, and the long trip out to Song-Kul Lake.
