Two incidents happened in this video when strangers made me feel insecure. This happened at Karakol Bus Station, where I came to catch a night bus to Bishkek. Also, after arriving Bishkek at 5 AM, the deserted bus station was looking scary. I had already heard of incidents of snatching in Bishkek.
So if you are looking for any information related to travelling from between Karakol to Bishkek, this video is for you. I have shared inputs on night bus timings, bus fare, how to buy a ticket from Karakol Bus Station, tips for getting a good seat.
After I reached Bishkek early in the morning the bus station was completely deserted. Being a solo traveller I again felt insecure. Instead of going out, I started looking for a safe place in the bus station itself. I didn’t have to struggle to find it. Watch this video to know where did I spend my time safely. I am sure you will find this place at every bus station or public place in the world.

This video is a part of my Kyrgyzstan travel series – I spent 3 months in Kyrgyzstan in late 2019. Besides Bishkek, Karakol, Issyk Kul (lake) which are the most popular destinations in Kyrgyzstan, I visited some offbeat places like Jyrgalan valley, Song Kul (lake). Did horse riding trips, stayed in Yurt camps, hitchhiked and stayed with locals. I volunteered in village farms, hostels and NGOs to get the holistic experience of my trip and central Asian culture. All this you will find In this series. #Kyrgyzstan #SoloTravel #Safety

ABOUT ME
I’m Varun.
I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web-series in Hindi with full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious ‘National Tourism Award’ by the Government of India for my contributions in the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, because of whom now I get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.
