How do you get around in Kyrgyzstan?

Kyrgyzstan has a good network of minibuses called “marshrutkas.” They operate within cities as well as between regions.
You can use the 2GIS app to find which bus, trolley, or marshrutka to take within Bishkek.
To travel elsewhere, you will need to go to the main bus stations in the capital.
You can also take a shared taxi, which is slightly more expensive but more comfortable.

To visit remote regions and tourist sites, you will need to take a private taxi, rent a car, or hire a driver. With Kyrgyz’What, you are accompanied by a vehicle and driver throughout your entire journey.

Kyrgyz people often use horses to get around in villages and mountains—try this experience yourself, or hike on foot, to reach the most remote and untouched areas of the country.
