Travellers visiting Kyrgyzstan need not be immunized but they should be vaccinated with the latest Typhoid and Tetanus vaccines. We suggest you seek advice from your local GP or travel clinic for the right vaccinations and preventative therapies.
Drinks and food
Kyrgyzstan’s cuisine is mostly based on rice and meat. There are many other options for salads and vegetable choices. If you travel around, you’ll be able to taste regional specialties that are often a part of the diverse cultures that have lived and moved around over the millennia.
With regard to alcohol, options are typically limited to vodka or beer so anyone wanting something different like Scotch or Gin for example – should purchase it duty-free and bring it out. Mixers such as tonic water are hard to come by in Central Asia.
Cultural Sensitivity
When you travel with us, you’ll often meet local people who have their own distinct traditions and customs. It is your responsibility to be respectful and considerate to local people. You can always rely on your guides or tour-leaders to help you.
Central Asia has a laid relaxed way of life Islam. This is the first thing you need to know when you travel there, especially in towns and cities. In areas such as Bishkek you’ll be amazed by the length of women’s skirts! However, it should also be remembered that it is technically classified as a Muslim area, so some caution is required in certain areas. Both sexes can wear shorts and T-shirts. However, when visiting mosques, women must cover their shoulders by wearing trousers or skirts. Men should not wear shorts.
80% of the population is Islamic with just a little over 15% of the population following
Russian Orthodoxy
Language and Religion
Kyrgyzstan is among two former Soviet Republics in Central Asia to retain Russian as an official language. Kyrgyzstan became an official bilingual nation in the late 1990’s, and added Kyrgyz as its official language. Because of Soviet policies, you’ll see ethnic Uzbeks or Tajiks in certain areas of Kyrgyzstan.
