Travellers visiting Kyrgyzstan are not required to be immunized but they should be vaccinated with the latest Tetanus and Typhoid vaccines. We recommend that you seek out guidance from your local GP or travel centre regarding the appropriate vaccinations and preventative therapies.
Food and beverages
The food in Kyrgyzstan is generally based around meat and rice although the variety of salads and other vegetables available are varied. You can sample local cuisines while you travel, and often overlap with other cuisines.
The alcohol selection is limited to beer or vodka. Anyone wanting to try other drinks – like Scotch or Gin should buy the item duty-free and take it with them. But, take note mixers, including tonic water, can be extremely difficult to come across in Central Asia!
Cultural Sensitivity
There are many opportunities to interact with locals, each with their unique customs and traditions. We therefore ask you to be respectful and treat them with respect. You can always count on your tour guide or tour leader to help you.
One thing to note about traveling in Central Asia is that most regions, especially the cities and towns, have a much more laid-back approach to Islam as compared to their counterparts to the south of Afghanistan and Pakistan. In areas such as Bishkek you’ll be shocked by the length of women’s skirts! It’s a Muslim zone, therefore it is important to be cautious in certain places. T-shirts and shorts are suitable for both genders. However, if going to mosques, women should cover their shoulders and wear pants or skirts with a length that falls below the knee, and men shouldn’t wear shorts.
80percent of the people are Islamic with just a little over 15% following
Russian Orthodoxia.
Religion and Language

Kyrgyzstan became an official bilingual state in the 1990’sand was able to add Kyrgyz to the official language. Also, there are ethnic Uzbeks as well as Tajiks in some areas of Kyrgyzstan due to the prior Soviet policy.
