Not what I was anticipating. Find underneath what there is to see and do when you visit Bishkek and how to maneuver around.
Getting around Bishkek
Bishkek is anything but difficult to maneuver. As a town constructed by Soviets, everything is in the square shape. To maneuver around you have a few decent choices in case you have decided to visit Bishkek:
Strolling – the distances are not that enormous. Thirty minutes from Ala-Too to Osh Market, 15 min from Victory Park to Ala-Too Plus the sideways are regularly huge. The main challenge is crossing roads as there are no streetlights for people on the road.
Marshrutka: Shared minivan is driving to and fro on a set course. You can use them anyplace along the route and get off at any point you desire. Most have twelve seats and some space to stand. It costs 10SOM wherever you hop on or off (12SOM later in the day)

The war didn’t get to Kyrgyzstan, but rather many individuals got assembled, and it is praised gladly. This monument is like a yurt regarding the shape and ensures security to the mother of Kyrgyzstan facing north.
Many Gardens
One thing that stroke me when I went by Bishkek was the amounts of trees and garden. It is exceptionally enjoyable to find in one of the many seats under the shadow of those colossal trees and do a few individuals viewing.
