There are no compulsory immunisations for travellers to Kyrgyzstan though you should be up-to-date on Typhoid Tetanus Polio and Hepatitis A. It is a good idea to talk to your local GP for advice on the most effective immunisations, as well as preventative therapies.
Food and beverages
Kyrgyzstan’s food is usually based on meat and rice. But, there are plenty of other choices for salads and vegetable choices. It is possible to sample local cuisines while you travel, which often overlap with the cuisines of other cultures.
With regard to alcohol, the options are generally limited to vodka or beer. Those who want something different like Scotch or Gin for instance – must purchase it duty-free and then bring it to the bar. But, take note that mixers, like tonic water, are extremely difficult to come across in Central Asia!
Cultural Sensitivity
You will often interact with locals, each with their particular customs and practices. Therefore, we ask you to be courteous and treat them with respect. Your tour-guides and tour-leaders will always be in a position to give you advice accordingly.
Central Asia has a laid relaxed way of life Islam. This is the first thing you must know about traveling there particularly in towns and cities. You’ll be shocked by how long skirts of women are in places like Bishkek! However, it should also be kept in mind that this is technically an Muslim area and some caution should be applied in certain locations. T-shirts and shorts are acceptable for both genders. But if going to mosques, women must cover their shoulders and wear trousers or skirts with a length that falls below the knees, and men shouldn’t wear shorts.
With less than 15% of people converting to Islam, more than 80% of the population is Islamic.
Russian Orthodoxy
Language & Religion
Kyrgyzstan is among two former Soviet Republics in Central Asia to retain Russian as their official language. In the 1990s, Kyrgyzstan was declared to be a dual-language country that added Kyrgyz as an official language. Due to Soviet policies, it is possible to encounter ethnic Uzbeks and Tajiks in some parts of Kyrgyzstan.
