A private yurt dinner at Supara costs more than a night in some Bishkek hotels. The best date on this list costs nothing at all, and it happens on top of a hill fifteen minutes from downtown. Start free, at Zaisan Hill Zaisan Hill sits on Bishkek’s southern edge, high enough to put the leafy grid of the city below you with the Kyrgyz Ala-Too range stacked up behind it. Go in the last hour before sunset, when the light turns the snow line pink and the traffic noise fades below.
