It depends on your location. You will have excellent 4G/LTE coverage in cities like Bishkek, Osh, and the main towns around Issyk-Kul Lake. However, Kyrgyzstan is 90% mountains. Once you are deep in the Tian Shan, (e.g., trekking to Ala-Kul or staying in a yurt camp at Song-Kul Lake), you should expect little to no signal. Our eSIM is perfect for cities and main roads, but we strongly advise downloading offline maps for all mountain treks.
