Crossing the border between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan

Patricevinc · 2026-04-21

Hi there,

I’m planning to visit Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in early June, assuming the war doesn’t spread ??? Could anyone give me some info about the eastern border after visiting Charyn Canyon? First, is it possible to head east using public transport, or should I book a tour from Almaty and stay in the east to continue on to Kyrgyzstan toward Karakol? (I mean, not return to Almaty with the tour.) It’s a bit of a vague question, but those who’ve been there will know what I’m talking about;

Thanks!

Patrice

In the east of what? Do you want to cross at the Kegen border post to leave Kazakhstan and enter Kyrgyzstan?

yes, I think that’s the best way. Kegen towards Karakol

This is a small border post that we’ve easily crossed several times with our travel vehicle. At this border post, you’ll find a vehicle that can take you to Karakol. Traveling in Kyrgyzstan is easy.
