Travelers to Kyrgyzstan are not required to be immunized but they should carry the most up-to-date Typhoid and Tetanus vaccines. We recommend that you seek out advice from your local GP or travel center on the proper immunisations and preventative measures.

Food and drink

The food offered in Kyrgyzstan is typically based around rice and meat, although the salads and vegetables that are available are diverse. If you travel around, you’ll be able to taste local dishes from the region, which often overlap with the diverse cultures that have lived and moved through the years.

The alcohol selection is restricted to vodka or beer. If you want to try other drinks – like Scotch or Gin should buy it duty-free and bring it with them. Mixers, such as tonic water, are difficult to find in Central Asia.

Cultural Sensitivity

It is common to interact with locals, each with their unique customs and traditions. We ask you to be kind and treat them with respect. You can always count on your tour guide or tour leader to help you.

Central Asia has a laid relaxed way of life Islam. This is the first thing you should know when you travel there especially in cities and towns. In some areas, like Bishkek you’ll be shocked at the length of women’s skirts! However, it should also be remembered that it is technically considered to be a Muslim area, so some caution should be applied in certain areas. Both genders can wear T-shirts and shorts. When visiting mosques, women should cover up their shoulders with trousers or skirts. Men should stay away from wearing shorts.

With just over 15% following Islam, more than 80% of the population is Islamic.

Russian Orthodoxy

Language and Religion

Kyrgyzstan was one of two former Soviet Republics located in Central Asia that retained Russian as their official language. Kyrgyzstan was declared an official bilingual nation in the late 1990’s, and added Kyrgyz to the official language. Also, there are Uzbeks of ethnic origin and Tajiks in some parts of Kyrgyzstan because of the previous Soviet policy.
