I was crossed land border from Uzbekistan to Kazaksthan. They took almost an hour to check my passport. I had the same feeling that the bus has left without me.

Ah yes, I remember the anxiety every time I crossed a border in Central Asia. 🫠

Hi. Ummi. I need your advise on what to do in Kyrgyzstan Izinkan saya berbahasa Melayu. Saya akan ke Almaty bulan Mei nanti , dan bercadang untuk ke Bishkek seterusnya menginap di guesshouse berbentuk khemah yurt di Issyk kul. Kalau saya ambil bas pagi dari Almaty, kemudian sampai di Bishkek dan terus ke Issyk Kul, apakah masih sempat? Atau saya perlu tidur semalam di Bishkek dan bergerak hari esok saja ke Issyk Kul? Berapa jauh jarak dari Bishkek ke Issyk Kul? Apakah ada bas untuk ke sana, atau tak ada kenderaan jadi kita perlu upah driver (seperti grab) untuk ke Issyk Kul? Terima kasih / Thanks you.

Hi, I went on this journey in Nov 2023. I'm not sure if there have been any changes since then. Sorry 🙏🏽

[@farixm]

One of the specific videos that I were looking actually. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 may share this to my friends (seems certainly) & me (hopefully) since searching options to Bishkek and bus is one of options we are looking. Thanks for this vid and seems recently went, right? Btw, how was the overall journey? Except the boarder check which was understandably will take longer.

[@UmmiGoesWhere]

Yup, this was in October. Pretty recent. Overall journey was fine, not as complicated as I thought. Hope everything goes well for your trip 😊

[@farixm]

@@UmmiGoesWhere Alright then should be just fine. Just may be need to take note on the weather since planning for June next year. Thanks again for uploading this video and keep the nation count going up! All the best & looking forward for many more travelling & specifically helping videos ✌🏻✌🏻

Thank you for your support. Really appreciate it 🙂

[@JournaldeJessel]

Hi Ummi. If we cross the boarder from Almaty to Krygystan, can we travel back to Almaty after a few days?

[@UmmiGoesWhere]

Yes, you can. That shouldn't be a problem. I stayed in Kyrgyzstan for only a few days. From there, I went to Uzbekistan, but had to cross Kazakh border again along the way. There was no issue. But then again, I don't need a visa for any of these countries. The rules may differ for different nationalities.

[@mrbelton1871]

I wouldnt risk. You may have problems on the border

[@ziyadahnafdzaki5515]

I wanna try this route.. if from KL Fligt to almaty first yea sis ? I'm from indonesia

Hi, sis. Yes, there is a direct AirAsia flight from Kuala Lumpur to Almaty, but on this particular trip I was flying from the UAE.

Hello, im planning to go to bishkek from almaty jugak end of this month, can you suggest any guest house you stayed in bishkek 😊

Hi, I couchsurfed during my whole trip, but I think there are many affordable hotels/guesthouses in Bishkek 🙂

[@buducencalok]

@@UmmiGoesWherealso do you know if i can purchase return bus tickets in advanced through online apps or anything? Is it possible for the bus tix to be sold out if i directly purchase on the day of departure?

[@UmmiGoesWhere]

You can book tickets online through this website: ma-sairan.kz/ Not sure if tickets can be sold out if buying on the same day of departure. I guess it probably depends on whether it's peak season or not 🤷🏽‍♀️. Perhaps you can try going early so that if the earlier buses are sold out, then you can go on the later ones.

[@buducencalok]

@@UmmiGoesWhereomg thankyou for the link! One more question, if im buying simcard in kazakshtan, would the sim be working well in kyrgystan?

[@islamnurdini2399]

Hello, I'm planning to go to Bishkek from Almaty and go back on the same day, do you think this is possible?

[@UmmiGoesWhere]

Hi, I'm not sure what time the last bus from Bishkek to Almaty is. According to Google, it's around 6pm. So technically, you can make a day trip if you take the earliest bus from Almaty, but personally I wouldn't recommend it, because it will be too hectic and you'll only get a few hours in Bishkek at most.

Yandex is cheap, it certainly isn't reliable! It's downright dangerous in Bishkek. I had drivers showing up in completely different cars, demanding more money, insisting the app was down etc etc

I'm sorry you had to experience that. Fortunately,, it worked very well for me throughout my travels in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. But thank you for sharing your experience. It may help others be more careful in the future. 🙂
