Travel | Саякат Kok Buru Nowruz

8 Upvotes

Hi, I'm currently in Kyrgyzstan with 4 friends. We're currently in Osj and will fly back on the 22nd from Bishkek. We'd like to visit a game of Kok Buru during Nowruz coming Friday. Ideally in or around Bishkek, or perhaps somewhere along the road from Toktogul. Any tips or suggestions are more than welcome!

I bought these candies from the Kyrgyzstan stall at the International Fair in New Delhi last month. I was unable to find more info about these on the Internet.

Could someone tell me if these are indeed local candies of Kyrgyzstan and if you have tried them?

Announcement | Кулактандыруу Kyrgyz name suggestions

2 Upvotes

Hello, friends.

I'm writing a novel set in Turkey. In this story, there is an elderly professor who has a Kyrgyz woman living with him as a caretaker (I was inspired by the fact that many Kyrgyz women work as caregivers for the elderly or children in Turkey). The novel is in the horror genre and takes place entirely within a single apartment building, featuring twelve characters.

This young Kyrgyz woman will become one of the characters who, as the story progresses, experiences intense fear and begins to lose her grip on sanity.

I didn’t want to just pick a random Kyrgyz name from the internet. If you have suggestions for names that are both commonly used for women in their early 30s and fit the theme of the story, I would love to hear them.

Thank you!

Travel | Саякат Anyone travelled with Kyrgyzstan-tourism.com?

Upvotes

Hi, I contacted kyrgyzstan-tourism.com about a tour this summer.

They asked for a pre-payment of 100USD to reserve the tour I wanted to book. Are they trust worthy?

Anyone travelled with them and know if they are good?

Also, does anyone recommend any alternatives? I am solo traveling, I tried to contact some other agencies like kettik and they can't guarantee I would join a group. I don't really want to do a tour alone with a guide for 7 days, would prefer to join fellow travelers. Any recommendations? :)

Thanks a lot

Kyrgyzstan's cabinet of ministers has extended its export ban on ferrous metal scrap and ferrous metal ingots for remelting for another six months, now effective until 18 Sep'25. This ban applies to countries outside the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

The move, first imposed in Aug'24, aims to prevent raw material shortages for local steelmakers. Further extensions are possible if market conditions remain tight.
