Introducing Jalal-abad
Travel Alert:A State of Emergency is currently in place in Jalal-Abad Oblast due to earlier political trouble, although this was to be lifted by June 1st. A curfew is also in place in Jala-Abad city, and all non-essential travel strongly advised against. Check the BBC for news updates and Safe Travel for updated government warnings.
Jalal-Abad (the City of Jalal, after a 13th century warrior) may be Kyrgyzstan’s third-largest city but you wouldn’t know it from its laid-back, easy-going feel. In its Soviet heyday the town boasted an upmarket health resort, still alive today but none-too-healthy. Most everything of use to travellers can be found on Lenina between the bazaar in the northwest and Hotel Mölmöl (a 10-minute walk) in the southeast. Advertisement Last updated: Jun 7, 2010
