There are no compulsory immunisations for those traveling to Kyrgyzstan but you must be up-to-date on Typhoid Tetanus Polio and Hepatitis A. We recommend that you seek out advice from your local GP or travel centre regarding the appropriate immunisations and preventative treatments.

Food and beverages

Kyrgyzstan’s food is primarily based on rice and meat. However, there are numerous other options for vegetables and salads. You’ll be able to try local cuisines as you travel and they often overlap with other ethnicities.

The selection of alcohol is limited to beer or vodka. Anyone looking to experiment with something else – such as Scotch or Gin – should purchase the item duty-free and take it with them. Mixers such as tonic water are very difficult to find in Central Asia.

Cultural Sensitivity

On our excursions, you’ll frequently interact with local people who have their own distinct traditions and customs. You are asked to pay respect and consideration to local people. You can always rely on your guides or tour-leaders to assist you.

But if going to mosques, women should cover their shoulders and wear pants or skirts that fall below the knees, and men shouldn’t wear shorts.

With just over 15% following Islam, over 80% of the people are Islamic.

Language and Religion

Kyrgyzstan is among two former Soviet Republics located in Central Asia to retain Russian as their official language. In the 90’s Kyrgyzstan became an official bilingual country adding Kyrgyz as a second official language. Additionally, you will find Uzbeks of ethnic origin and Tajiks in certain areas of Kyrgyzstan due to the prior Soviet policies.
