Budget & Tips
Kyrgyzstan sees its hotel offer growing year after year, especially in Bishkek, where you can now find the whole range of hotels and B&Bs, for backpackers, business people and lovers of charm. In the other cities of the country, such as Djalalabad or Osh, the choice is already more limited while Karakol, a major meeting place for hikers from all over the world, is seeing the development of guesthouses. Everywhere else in the country, you will be able to rely on the important CBT (Community based tourism) network, which manages guesthouses and yurt camps in sufficient numbers to accommodate groups and individuals and for all types of budget.
You can sleep well in Kyrgyzstan from $20 per night, with breakfast. You can spend more for comfortable city stops, but elsewhere, it's the price for sleeping under the yurt!
To be booked
In high season, booking is necessary. Not that the number of tourists is frightening, but the capacity is relatively limited, tourism is still in its infancy. As tourist numbers are mainly concentrated in the summer months, care will have to be taken to book accommodation, especially in the busiest campsites such as those at Lake Song Kul, Lake Aydar Kul, or the Tash Rabat caravanserai. Yurts fill up quickly as soon as a group arrives. If you have your own tent, you can choose to stay on your own but you may not have the best places in the country's natural sites.
What's very local
Sleeping under the yurt is obviously the essential experience to live during your trip to Kyrgyzstan. In fact, you won't have much choice unless you stay in the few main cities. The nights under the yurt, at more than 3,000 m of altitude, on the Song Kul lake or in Tash Rabat are an unforgettable memory to which we will put only one flat: the tourist success makes that you will not be alone. For a very local experience, you'll have to get off the beaten track and test the hospitality of the jailoo, the summer pastures of the Kirghiz who put up their yurts there for the summer season.
Tourist traps
Beware of some camps that offer "à la carte festivities" such as a bozkachi demonstration or horse racing... These entertainments will have nothing authentic and prove to be tasteless. If you wish to attend a bozkachi, contact a serious agency or rely on luck, but don't provoke it by paying for a custom show that will inevitably turn into a scam.
