Gateway to the Tien Shan Mountains
Bishkek isn’t your average capital—it’s calm, quirky, and wrapped in peaks. Think wide tree-lined streets, bustling bazaars, and snow-dusted mountains always in view. One moment you’re sipping tea in a Soviet-era café, the next you're trekking through untouched nature. Underrated? Absolutely. Unforgettable? Even more.
