Hi guys, next august i'll be in tashkent with my bike to visit Pamir and Kyrgyzstan. I've called 3 agencies and the Kyrgyz embassy in Switzerland and still i don't know if i need visas to enter kgz
The embassy says that we don't need it, 2 agencies says that i don't need it if i fly there by plane but i need if i enter by land with the bike, the third agency says that i don't need anything
Please, someone can tell me who i must trust?

Kyrgyzstan is really easy on visas...and at the border expect some chaos, but not much in the way of paperwork. The 60 day no visa is in effect, and is working well as long as you don't overstay it.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
