Kyrgyzstan
Two weeks across Kyrgyzstan with four friends, from Bishkek and Karakol to Song Kul, Ala-Kul and the yurts of Kok Kiya. We tracked every shared cost along the way, including guesthouses, marshrutkas, 4x4s, horse treks, food, beers and everything in between. The damage came to $2,541 across 22 expenses, or $635.25 each. Here’s the full Kyrgyzstan trip cost breakdown, who paid for what, and how we ended up settling up.
