Thanks for this video. This is very helpful. I will take the same bus next week. Is there a website i can buy the ticket online? Because im afraid the all ticket will sold out

@BurakUnal1 10 ай бұрын

There isn't online option. You gotta buy it from the ticket counter I showed on the video. You can go there a few days earlier to buy the ticket in advance. In my experience, the bus was mostly empty and there are many buses per day. I dont suppose it will be sold out. very low probability..

It felt so good to see a video with crystal clear English after lots of half Indian half English videos. Very clear and informative, thank you. I just want to ask you should I buy sim card and exchange USD for SOM on the Kyrgyz border? Or should I wait until the city center of Bishkek then buy sim card and exchange currency? Thank you in advance bro

@BurakUnal1 2 ай бұрын

Exchange'i borderda biraz yapabilirsin (10usd-20usd filan). Kur bırderda çok kötü değil ama asıl parayı şehirde yapmak daha iyi. Asıl exchange ve sim işini bişkekte yap. Şehir merkezinde bol bol var exchange bürosu ve sokakta simkart satan şirket personelleri.

I am not sure, as I remember they had a POS machine. However, I paid by cash.

Hi thanks for this - is it an actual coach/bus and not a Marshutkra? Did the coach have toilets on it? How much was a SIM Card? Can you change Tenge at the border for SOM?

@BurakUnal1 4 ай бұрын

It is a bus. I dont know if there is a toilet, in any case it gives a break 2 hours later and there is a pathetic toilet there. I dont remember how much a sim was but it was quite cheap. Yes they change money at the kyrgyz side of border, rates are good. Just relax and take the bus! Easy travel

Hello. Im planning to cross the border of Kz to Kg too. I was confused, When you reached the Kz border, went down for exit stamp of Kz and went to KG border for entrance stamp. What bus did you use? The same bus in Kz? Or different bus?

@BurakUnal1 9 ай бұрын

Same bus comes to the other side of border.

Could you please highlight more on the visa requirements.? Is a visa required in case of Indian residents for crossing the Kazakhstan border to Krygstan border while going through the bus.? And if yes then please share the procedure.

Yes , for Indian visa is required if you travel to kyrgystan. One of the small countries, nothing much to see , but definitely they want Indians to have visa. Many countries are not required visa for kyrgystan, but if you are an Indian, definitely you need to have visa. And visa requirements is that you must have Letter of invitation from registered tourist agency in kyrgystan. It's hell lot of heck . There are beautiful countries to visit. Go there instead of kyrgystan
