Hi all! I didn’t have much time in Bishkek. But all in all experience of just walking around and visiting parks + the National History Museum (better organized than in Almaty, KZ btw!) made me happy. All in all people are helpful, I didn’t feel pressure or anything.

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

Kyrgyzstan is amazing! I felt so safe all the time travelling. I dont always hitchike but here I felt like I could so I did a few times. Locals are very welcoming nd warm. They dont all speak English but they try to help.

I recently travelled solo to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. It was my first stop in Central Asia, and I went to Ala Archa National Park and the National Museum. Overall, it was an experience being able to see ex-Soviet buildings, in a Russian speaking country and one of the best views from the plane flying into the country

I have felt very safe in this country. The local people are very helpful! The biggest danger is the way people drive their cars around here in my opinion. But once you get used to it, that is fine too.

I would say our city is pretty safe. People here are willing to help in case of emergency. No pickpockets. Unfortunately, in Kyrgyzstan, there are some men with a very low level of social responsibility — they may insult women, commit domestic violence, or engage in harassment. But fortunately, in my large circle of friends and acquaintances, there are no such people.

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
