Important Update: Bishkek–Balykchy–Bishkek Train Information

During the summer season in Kyrgyzstan, there is a train service on the route Bishkek – Balykchy (Lake Issyk-Kul) – Bishkek. A train journey through the Boom Gorge is a very beautiful and unforgettable experience.

You can use this train to travel to Lake Issyk-Kul and back with your bicycles.

When buying or booking your tickets, please make sure to inform the ticket office that you will be travelling with bicycles. We also strongly recommend informing the train conductor before boarding.

Please arrive at the railway station at least one hour before departure, so you have enough time to load and properly place your bicycles on the train.
