The climate in Kyrgyzstan is sharply continental, and throughout the day the temperature in the mountains can range from + 30 up to 0 degrees, that’s why we recommend the tourists taking warm shoes, warm clothing, sunscreen and sunglasses with them.
We recommend the tourists having with them:
The easiest time to travel in Kyrgyzstan is between May and October. In winter, spring and fall mountain road conditions make getting around difficult. The best time to trek or travel by horse is between June and September, with July and August being the busiest months. During summer the south, including Bishkek can be uncomfortably warm. These areas might be better visited in the spring or autumn months.
Rainfall is fairly low but there is heavy snowfall in winter and even in summer the mountain areas may experience sudden storms. If you are planning on trekking be prepared for inclement weather, and cold temperatures in any season. Check out this helpful list of what to pack.
