Travellers who travel to Kyrgyzstan are not required to be immunized but they should carry the most recent Typhoid and Tetanus vaccines. We suggest you seek advice from your local GP or travel center on the proper immunisations and preventative treatments.

Drinks and food

Kyrgyzstan’s cuisine is mostly based on meat and rice. But, there are many other options for vegetables and salads. You’ll be able to try local cuisines as you travel, and 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 along. Mixers like tonic water are very difficult to find in Central Asia.

Cultural Sensitivity

It is common to interact with the locals, all with their distinctive customs and traditions. We therefore request that you be kind and treat them with respect. You can always count on your tour guides or tour leaders to help you.

One thing to note about travelling through Central Asia is that most cities and towns, take a more relaxed view of Islam than their neighbors to the south of Afghanistan as well as Pakistan. In areas such as Bishkek you’ll be shocked at the length of women’s skirts! However, it should also be kept in mind that this is technically a Muslim area and it is recommended that a bit of caution should be applied in certain locations. Both sexes can wear shorts and T-shirts. When visiting mosques, women must cover their shoulders by wearing trousers or skirts. Men should not wear shorts.

With around 15% of the population embracing Islam, over 80% of the population is Islamic.

Russian Orthodoxy

Language & Religion

Kyrgyzstan was one of the two former Soviet Republics in Central Asia that retained Russian as their official language. Kyrgyzstan was declared an official bilingual state in the late 1990’s, and added Kyrgyz as the official language. Due to Soviet policies, it is possible to find ethnic Uzbeks or Tajiks in some areas of Kyrgyzstan.
