Salam! This is Sugi from ASHU TRAVEL, your guide to Central Asia’s breathtaking landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been announced that Russian President Putin will visit Kyrgyzstan this week for 3 days.
As a result, there are impacts across Bishkek, including road closures, detours, and school closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re visiting as a tourist, you’ll need to take extra care when getting around for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian and Kyrgyz governments announced
that President Putin will make a 3-day official visit, including:
\u2022 Talks with President Japarov
\u2022 A delegation of ministers and businesspeople (including Mr. Abramovich)
\u2022 Attendance at the CSTO summit
\u2022 Signing of official documents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit is said to be aimed at strengthening relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Happening on the Ground in Kyrgyzstan: Road Closures and School Closures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Bishkek, major roads are being closed and traffic restrictions are in place along the routes used by VIP motorcades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The areas most affected are:
\u2022 The route from the airport to the city
\u2022 The area around the Presidential Residence
\u2022 Areas with many government facilities
\u2022 Main avenues in the city center<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the road closures, traffic at some times of day is two to three times worse than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some schools have also announced temporary closures, which is changing the flow of people around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Our Local Guide: Heightened Police Presence at Key Locations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to ASHU TRAVEL guide Nuriya (who is in regular contact with the police and embassies):
\u2022 Police security has been stepped up at key locations
\u2022 Access may be restricted around the Presidential Residence
\u2022 Sometimes “a road you thought was open suddenly gets closed”
\u2022 For the next few days, it’s safest to “check as you go”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s her advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice for Travelers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are no safety concerns in Kyrgyzstan, but the “traffic impacts that come with a VIP visit” may continue for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelers will have a smoother time if they keep the following in mind.
\u2022 Allow plenty of extra time when getting around
\u2022 Leave earlier than usual for airport transfers and tour meeting times
\u2022 Walking routes in the city center and government district may need to change temporarily
\u2022 Taxi arrival times are hard to predict due to detours
\u2022 Google Maps traffic info may not reflect road closures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a few days, the city is expected to return to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
