There are no obligatory immunisations for travelers to Kyrgyzstan but you must be current on Typhoid, Tetanus Polio and Hepatitis A. It is advised to talk to your local GP for advice on best immunisations as well as preventative treatments.
Food and beverages
Kyrgyzstan’s food is usually based on rice and meat. But, there are many other options for vegetables and salads. You’ll be able to experience local cuisines when you travel and they often overlap with those of other cultures.
With regard to alcohol, options are typically limited to vodka or beer so anyone wanting something different – Scotch or Gin for example – should purchase it duty-free and bring it out. But, take note mixers, including tonic water are very difficult to come across in Central Asia!
Cultural Sensitivity
You will often interact with locals, each with their own distinct customs and customs. We therefore ask you to be considerate and to treat them with respect. Your tour-leaders and guides are always able to advise you accordingly.
Central Asia has a laid back attitude to Islam. This is the first thing you must know when you travel there, especially in towns and cities. In areas like Bishkek you won’t believe the length of some women’s skirts! It is a Muslim zone, therefore it is imperative to be mindful in certain places. Women and men can both wear T-shirts and shorts. But, when going to mosques, women must cover their shoulders in trousers or skirts. The males should avoid wearing shorts.
The majority of people are Islamic with just over 15% of them following
Russian Orthodoxy
Language & Religion
Kyrgyzstan is one of the two former Soviet Republics in Central Asia to retain Russian as an official language. Kyrgyzstan became an official bilingual country in the 1990’s, adding Kyrgyz as its official language. Because of Soviet policies, you can see ethnic Uzbeks or Tajiks in some parts of Kyrgyzstan.
