Travellers visiting Kyrgyzstan need not be immunized, but they should have the most up-to-date Typhoid and Tetanus vaccines. We suggest you seek guidance from your local GP or travel clinic on the proper immunisations and preventative measures.
Food and drink
The food in Kyrgyzstan is generally based around rice and meat but the selection of vegetables and salads available are varied. You will be able to try local cuisines as you travel, often overlapping with the cuisines of other cultures.
The available alcohol options are restricted to vodka or beer. Anyone who wants to sample something else , such as Scotch or Gin should buy the item duty-free and take it along. Mixers like tonic water are extremely difficult to locate in Central Asia.
Cultural Sensitivity
On our tours you will often meet local people Each with their own distinct customs and traditions. We therefore ask you to be kind and treat them with respect. You can always count on your tour-leaders or guides to help you.
The first thing to say about travelling through Central Asia is that most regions, especially the cities and towns, have a much more relaxed view of Islam as compared to their counterparts to the south of Afghanistan as well as Pakistan. In places such as Bishkek you’ll be shocked at the length of some women’s skirts! However, it should also be noted that this is technically considered to be a Muslim region and therefore a little bit of caution should be used in certain areas. T-shirts and shorts are suitable for both sexes but if visiting mosques, women should cover their shoulders and wear trousers or skirts that fall just below the knee, while men shouldn’t wear shorts.
With around 15% of the population embracing Islam, more than 80% of the population is Islamic.
Russian Orthodoxy
Language & Religion
Kyrgyzstan was one of the 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 its official language. Additionally, you will find Uzbeks from the ethnic group and Tajiks in certain areas of Kyrgyzstan because of previous Soviet policies.
