Are you heading to Kyrgyzstan? Planning a Kyrgyzstan Trip in 2017? This video is Part 3 of First World Traveller's Kyrgyzstan series, this time heading to Kochkor, a small town approx 3 hours south of Bishkek.
In terms of Things to Do, there isn't a lot, however Kochkor is a great stop off to experience small town Kyrgyzstan life on the way to Cholpon-Ata, Bosteri & Lake Issyk Kul.
In this video I go for a walk to discover yet more amazing scenery, mountains, rivers, and also discover something great in that the local children will always run up to you to say hello and practise their English!
I then head towards Lake Issyk Kul where I am reminded why I rarely use Airbnb to find accommodation! Check out what happens in the episode!

    Those mountains were gorgeous! So cool how you just walked and enjoyed the scenery. AirBnB can be soooo annoying with maps! We often have to confirm the location because the map is totally wrong. We have though had some incredible stays and we do use them a heck of a lot. Nice rant! 😂😀 - Thomas

    Chasing a Plate - Food and Travel Channel hey guys, I'm used to the maps being wrong but normally once the host sends me the Google maps version I'm fine. Not this time! Comedy of errors! To be fair the one I stayed at in Albury between Melbourne and Sydney was absolutely awesome, family home and an amazing host. Thanks for watching! #chasingaplate

    Hey, are you visiting any of the other 'Stans on this trip? Was planning on doing Central Asia next year. Have you been using the lonely planet guide for tips on where to visit or how did you choose your itinerary for there? Love the videos thanks.

    Cian Maher hey cian, unfortunately I was slightly restricted by time so I wasn't able to visit the other stans except almaty in Kazakhstan. One reason i chose kyrgyz was due to the scenery and the fact visas weren't an issue. In terms of research I'd heard about Lake Issyk (next video) so kind of headed towards there. If i had more time I would have gone to Karakol and possibly Osh. There's a video coming on Friday (hopefully) about transport in Kyrgyzstan which I'm hoping will be useful! Have a great trip!

    Cian Maher also people seem to fly into bishkek and head either South towards Osh or east towards karakol And back to bishkek. Mountain hiking seems to be a common activity especially in Karakol area.

    First World Traveller cheers for the quick reply. Yeah I think our Irish Visa requirements are similar to yours so should be visa free for Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and then the others require some visa pre approval. Was thinking of doing Almaty to Bishkek overland myself and then join a g adventures tour around the other Stan's. I tend to just look at the itinerary they provide for countries then try to do it cheaper myself with public transport. Currently in Medellin, Colombia but have a few hours before a flight so I've been semi planning my Central Asia trip for next year. 😂 have you found it more expensive due to the lack of competition with smaller tourist numbers? Difficult to get around without Russian? I did Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova before coming out to South America last month and Russian definitely would've helped out there!

    Cian Maher sounds like you're having an epic trip mate! In terms of expense I didn't find an issue at all, the only thing I found was the usual charging or foreigners more than locals. I'm in Ukraine now! Pripyat on Friday! My Russian is horrendous but I found people tended to speak a mix of Russian and Kyrgyz and just got by with the basics, marshrutka! Da!
