La amiza afero estas ke nia gastiganto de la lasta nokto ŝercante kun la ŝildo haltis nian venontan veturadon en 10 sekundoj Hahahah kaj la familio kiu haltis estis mirinda kun ni. Veturis nin kelakaj minutoj al isik kul lago kaj ankaŭ a la muzeo kiu gastigis parto de la evento de la internacia nomadaj ludoj. Kaj lasis nin en bela loko por tendumi.―Jurobola

Poate alvenado ekde preskaŭ la bordo kun Kazakstano. Uloj provis lasi nin en bona loko por kampadi. Sed hazerde tia junulo estis en la enirado de tia loko nomata "green city". Do ili ofertis nin lia hejmo por nia domado kaj ni ackceptis. En la venonta tago li veturis nin al loko kie li pensis ni povus preni buson sed li malkomprenis, ĉar ni fakte volis petveturi, sed ludante ekzemplo kiel petveturi li fakte haltis aŭton kiu veturis nin al Ĉolpan Ata. Belega. Jahahahah―Jurobola

Tre freneza loko en malfrua momento. Pluraj uloj haltis por peti monon. Kamionetulo iluzis nin dirante veturi nin ĝis Balikiŝi iranta al Narino sed li finfine ankaŭ petis monon. Kaj alia aŭto haltis kun problemo kaj la ulo komencos helpi kiam alia auto haltis por Muŝky kaj finfine ili veturis nin.―Jurobola

After coming back from a horse riding track at Songkul, I was trying to hitch westwards to Karakol. Definitely a remote area with only a few villages around. Best chances are probably trucks which also gave me a ride to Balyktschy from where I continued. At this point is enough space for cars to stop and also a bus station for the Marshrutkas. All in all possible but some patience needed but more traffic than expected―Anonymous

All traffic going to Kochkor passes through here (just stand on the roadside). Note: not much traffic to Kochkor, and the cars that go will more than likely ask for money (FYI: 100 Som is the price for a shared taxi).―Anonymous

Good spot going towards Karakol by the south side. Be aware that some drivers will expect small payment from you (especially minivan drivers) since it's common here to share a rides. However many will lift you for free.―otv3n

One hour and 0 cars going past the first house. Don't take this route to Kochkor but take the next road more towards Bishkek. Got a ride in 2 mins from there.―VeikkaK
