Until recently we had great concern over the safety of travel in the capital Bishkek; throughout April there was massive civil unrest due to government corruption and increased living costs, including violent protest where at least 75 people were killed. The president had fled the country, and the foreign office were advising against travel. This rendered any insurance null and void and things were not looking good! Thankfully by late April the government had started to reform and by May the foreign office was no longer advising against travel!
Things are looking more stable now, but nights out in Bishkek may be avoided!
