Carrying Passports

by budapest8

Carrying passports is important to remember, guess like in Germany they require a legit ID.According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is necessary that foreigners carry with them at all times when they outside their place of residence (e. g. their hotel), to carry passports, or other documents verifying their identity.If a police patrol stop someone in order to identify their identity — they only have to show their documents. It is not necessary to show the contents of bags and pockets. They have no right to search you: do not allow this.Refuse to pay any money if asked (refuse even to show your wallet as sometimes you may get it back lacking some of what was previously in it!) and simply show your passport and your hotel card. Police who have no business to do so may occasionally stop people in the street. If this happens please write down the number of the policeman — they should...

access to mosques

by lovesjetlag

Warning to women travelers on acess to mosques!Remember that even though you are all covered up from head to toe, non muslim women will not be granted access to mosques in Kyrghyzstan!!! So don't even bother trying, you will be kicked away and if even you belong to the gentle sex you won't even be shown any grace, it happened to me in Osh at the Rabat Abdullah Khan Mosque.

Watch your belongings!

by His_Beloved

Especially in Bishkek on marshrutkas, keep a good eye on your bags because pickpockets can steal your wallet or other valuables in the blink of an eye, even if they happen to be on the inside of your jacket - just make sure your jacket is zipped up if you carry money or documents this way.

Donot enter the parliament house area.

by babar_1

Some of our friends mistakenly crossed the boundry chain (infact the chain was broken that time) when the police men stopped them and talked very harshly, and they don't know even a single english word. Fortunately our Kyrgyz hosts reached in time and the matter was sattled.

Beware of the cops!

by bartman_9

The cops in Kyrgyzstan, especially those around the busstation in Bishkek, seem to have a sideline suckering tourists. With the excuse of running a check, they'll take you into an office and demand to see your money, claiming to be looking for counterfeit bills. Then they'll try to palm your cash. When a cop asks to check your luggage or money, volunteer to show what you have right there in the open and flat out refuse to be taken into an office. You'll be amazed how fast they'll leave you alone once they notice you can't be fooled.

1. Quite a high crime rate in big cities, just as everywhere.2. If you are hiking in Kyrgyzstan, check the weather situation carefully before departure - otherwise you may encounter some natural disasters.

Walking alone at night.

by His_Beloved

Kyrgyzstan is full of people waiting for helpless lone tourists to jump and rob. If you find yourself out alone after dark, always take a taxi to your accomodations......Always!

Yaks

by babar_1

Yaks are found at high mountain pastures. Usually they are harmless animals, but don't go too closer, as sometimes they may become hostile.............. keep away and enjoy.......
