Would it be best to fly directly to Bishkek or is it better to fly somewhere else like Alma-Ata or Novosibirsk or maybe somewhere in China and then take a train from there to Bishkek? Also, how safe is it for someone who has common sense but limited Russian skills to travel there alone?
Yeah, but I’m interested in how to get to Kyrgyzstan. Is it cheaper to stop at an airport in Russia and take a train to Kyrgyzstan from there? Or is it best to just go directly to Bishkek?

I’m just asking because eastern part of Hungary has many socially disadvantaged racially and culturally different and undereducated therefore violent and ignorant people(gipsies) living there and one has to avoid them on the train when travelling there.Is it so on the other side of the border as well?
I am hungarian that’s where I get my anxieties from.
Thanks coolstud but I really wasn’t worried about being kiddnapped since they know too that us hungarians are broke as well.I was just worried about the gipsies who smell and like to travel in hordes being drunk and molesting women which is why I try to avoid them and in eastern Hungary there is always a bunch of them traveling on the train.It’s not that bad just gotta watch out, I was just wondering if Ukraine is the same too because I’ve gotta go all the way to Zhaporzhye.
