Last weekend we decided to do smthng different and joined our friends to their Bishkek trip. Bishkek is just 230km away from Almaty but it feels like you traveled back in time..
First thing you’d realize is a clean air, number of cars is much less than in Almaty and there is no factories in a city. Prices are relatively cheaper, especially food. There’s also an electricity cut after 11pm. 
But before electricity cut you may enjoy fishing or just viewing mountains Ala-Archa, which are just 20km away from city.. Most of the pics below are taken outside the city..
