There aren’t any mandatory vaccinations for travelers to Kyrgyzstan but you must be up-to-date on Typhoid Tetanus Polio and Hepatitis A. We recommend that you seek out guidance from your local GP or travel center for the right vaccinations and preventative treatment.
Drinks and food
Kyrgyzstan’s food is primarily based on rice and meat. However, there are plenty of other choices for vegetables and salads. You will be able to experience local cuisines when you travel and they often overlap with the cuisines of other cultures.
In the case of alcohol, the options are mostly limited to vodka or beer, so those looking for something different – Scotch , or Gin for instance – must buy it duty free and take it home. Mixers such as tonic water are extremely difficult to locate in Central Asia.
Cultural Sensitivity
On our tours you will often interact with locals all with their own distinct traditions and customs. You’re asked to show respect and consideration to locals. You can always rely on your tour guides or tour leaders to assist you.
Central Asia has a laid low-key style of Islam. It is the very first thing to be aware of when traveling to Central Asia particularly in cities and towns. You won’t believe how long some women’s skirts are in places like Bishkek! However, it should also be remembered that Bishkek is technically a Muslim region and therefore an extra dose of caution is required in certain places. Both sexes can wear shorts and T-shirts. When visiting mosques, women should cover their shoulders with trousers or skirts. The males should avoid wearing shorts.
With just over 15% following Islam, the majority of the people are Islamic.
Russian Orthodoxy
Language and Religion
Kyrgyzstan was one of the two former Soviet Republics in Central Asia that retained Russian as their official language. Kyrgyzstan was declared an official bilingual country in the early 1990s, adding Kyrgyz as the official language. Because of Soviet policies, you can encounter ethnic Uzbeks and Tajiks in certain areas of Kyrgyzstan.
