Bishkek is quite a safe city in my experience. I feel comfortable walking alone in most areas after dark without significant concerns about theft. As a woman, I do encounter occasional unwanted attention, similar to what women unfortunately experience in many places around the world. It's not particularly severe here - just the typical gender-based interactions that women often need to be mindful of while traveling. Overall, I find the safety situation to be reasonable, though women travelers may want to exercise the same awareness they would in other international destinations.

I don't think it's a dangerous country but every country has its own bad people so it's good if you're careful. Till now, I don't think I've experienced any of these harassments. Here's people are nice when you Approach nice

I would say its a safe place especially for foreign woman. I mostly walk alone even in dark and remote areas because i love to walk and explore different parts of the city regardless of time. Also i am a kind of person who can go alone anywhere if my friends are busy and i have almost never felt danger

Bishkek is mostly safe for women, especially if you walk alone in the city center or on busy streets. However, I wouldn’t recommend walking alone in remote areas, new neighborhoods, or suburbs, especially at night. The overall crime rate in Bishkek is quite low, but women should still be careful. Use comfort or business class taxis instead of economy. Avoid walking alone on dark and empty streets. Watch your drinks at bars. In general, stay alert and take the same precautions as you would in any other country.

The city (Bishkek) is very safety. all streets are equipped with electricity, so it’s not dark at the streets. People are friendly and there are not many homeless people and drug addicts. The city is also not big. Most of the residents know English.

I would recommend this trip to everyone who loves nature and hiking! And horses! The country is pretty safe and locals are very welcoming (I’m a white blonde women saying this). I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. They are Muslims but not really strict so you don’t need to cover much. The nature is stunning and the hikes are really accessible. Would ho back!

It's my first time in Kyrgyzstan, as well as middle asia! I have a great trip there, especially during the hikes and the three days horse trekking. I met two Filipino women and became friends during the trekking with them
