Kyrgyzstan Travel Blog
Travel guides, itineraries, abandoned places, street art and off-the-beaten-path places in KyrgyzstanHello and welcome to our Kyrgyzstan travel blog. You will find all our Kyrgyzstan blog posts in this section of our website.
Maybe you found our Kyrgyzstan travel blog because you are considering a visit to Central Asia, or perhaps you are partway through planning a trip to Kyrgyzstan. Whatever the reason, we hope we can provide some useful resources and travel tips for Kyrgyzstan.
We were hoping to return to Kyrgyzstan in autumn 2020 but unsurprisingly that had to go on the back-burner. We’ve got our next trip all mapped out ready and waiting for when we can travel to Central Asia again.
Our Kyrgyzstan blog posts are generally aimed at independent travellers and backpackers like us and have a strong focus on travelling around using public transport, staying in budget accommodation and exploring off-the-beaten-path and lesser-visited places.
