Bishkek Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Kyrgyzstan is well cool, I've benn horse riding and all. Internet however is very expensive so this will have to be brief. We went over a big mountain to a holy lake and camped up in the high pastures and I wore a big hat and got a sunburt nose, it was the best! I also went to some waterfalls and helped a family bale up hay for their cows!

Paragliding program for experienced pilots combined group

This program combines two main ideas – paragliding and mountaineering. If you love to open new possibilities for this cool combination, if you prefer new areas for making flight route discovers instead of good-known places, if you are real pilot-explorer who don’t feel ...

After two flights full of some "intereting" people, we finally arrived in Bishkek. We were a little anxious about getting into the country as we had heard (read actually, from the US Travel Alert site) that Kyrgyz's customs officials were corrupt and would ask for bribes.

It was hard to drag myself away from the beers at night-time around the picturesque "Lyabi-Hauz" lake ringed by monuments (especially when I was given shots of Uzbek "tea" to go with them!) but finally it was time t...

Priviete, Ca y est, c'est parti!!! (ici c'est clavier russe ou Qwerty sans accent, désolé...) Arrivée à 2h du matin, pas de pbs de douane, j'avais planqué une partie de mon cash dans mes chaussures au cas où, car il faut déclarer avec combien d'argent tu viens et je ne voulais pas me faire racketter dès le début mais finalement ça a été cool (to...
