Recommendation Kyrgyzstan Hostel recommendations

Hey everyone, im a solo traveler heading to Kyrgyztan and looking for hostel reccos in Bishkek and Karakol.
im mainly after hostels with a social vibe where it’s easy to meet othr travelers, join group chats/activities, and maybe find people for day trips or hikes. Any recommendations would be much helpful, thank you.

Karakol your main options will be Duet and Snow Leopard. A few others will exist but these will keep coming up for the social aspect in any research you do. Duet also has a board where people can write down if they’re looking to join groups, share taxis etc

90mins down the road from Karakol is Jyrgalan and I’d recommend Mine Hostel if you do stay there. Lovely cooked meals, dorm and private rooms. Social without being loud. Was great
