Travellers visiting Kyrgyzstan should not get immunized but they should carry the most recent Typhoid and Tetanus vaccines. We recommend you seek guidance from your local GP or travel specialist as to the correct immunisations and preventative measures.
Drinks and food
Kyrgyzstan’s food is usually based on rice and meat. But, there are many other options for vegetables and salads. You will be able to sample local cuisines while you travel, often overlapping with other ethnicities.
The alcohol selection is limited to beer or vodka. Anyone who wants to sample something different – like Scotch or Gin is advised to purchase it at no cost and bring it along. Mixers, such as tonic water, are very difficult to find in Central Asia.
Cultural Sensitivity
While on our trips, you will frequently interact with local people, each with distinctive customs and practices. We therefore request that you be respectful and show them respect. The tour guides and tour guides will always be able to provide you with the appropriate advice.
The first thing you should know about traveling in Central Asia is that most cities and towns take a more laidback attitude to Islam as compared to their counterparts to the south in Afghanistan as well as Pakistan. You won’t believe how long some women’s skirts are in cities such as Bishkek! It’s an Muslim zone, therefore it is important to be cautious in certain areas. T-shirts and shorts are acceptable for both genders. But if attending mosques, women should cover their shoulders and wear pants or skirts that fall below the knees, and the male should not wear shorts.
With only a little over 15% of the population following Islam, more than 80% of the population is Islamic.
Russian Orthodoxy
Language & Religion
Kyrgyzstan is one of the two former Soviet Republics in Central Asia to retain Russian as their official language. In the early 90’s Kyrgyzstan became an official bilingual country adding Kyrgyz as an official language. Also, there are ethnic Uzbeks and Tajiks in some areas of Kyrgyzstan due to the prior Soviet policy.
