Plan your trip home
- When to leave: we plan the pickup with a 4-hour buffer before your flight on top of the 4.5–5 hours of drive and border. For a 14:00 flight, expect a pickup at about 05:00.
- Kazakhstan visa: Indian passports are visa-free in Kazakhstan for up to 14 days per entry, at most 42 days in any 180 (as of 20 October 2026). Flying out the same day is well within that.
- Coming back to Kyrgyzstan: keep your Kyrgyz study visa or residence permit valid — check with your university’s international office before you leave.
- Luggage: 2 × 23 kg plus a cabin bag per student. You carry your bags through the border hall; the drivers help to the doors on both sides.
- Dates: in August–September and December–January we run fixed departure dates — join seat by seat. At other times (for example June–July, when many students fly home) bring 4 or more students and we go on your date.
How booking works
- Message us on WhatsApp with your flight date and the number of seats.
- Each student prepays $15 to hold the seat (card link). The rest goes to the driver on the day, in cash or by card link.
- When 4 seats are paid, the car is confirmed; the evening before you get the driver’s photo, phone and car plate.
- Not enough students? We refund the $15 or move you to the next departure.
