Travellers who travel to Kyrgyzstan need not be immunized but they should be vaccinated with the latest Typhoid and Tetanus vaccines. It is a good idea to talk to your local GP to get advice on the best immunisations as well as preventative therapies.

Food and beverages

Kyrgyzstan’s food is primarily based on rice and meat. But, there are other choices for salads and other vegetables. You’ll be able to taste local cuisines as you travel, which often overlap with other ethnicities.

For alcohol, the choice is generally limited to vodka or beer so anyone wanting something different like Scotch or Gin for example – can purchase it duty-free and then bring it to the bar. Mixers such as tonic water are hard to come by in Central Asia.

Cultural Sensitivity

Central Asia has a laid back style of Islam. It is the very first thing you must know when you travel there, especially in towns and cities. In areas such as Bishkek you’ll be shocked by the length of some women’s skirts! But, it must be remembered that it is technically an Muslim area, so an extra dose of caution should be used at certain locations. Women and men can both wear shorts and T-shirts. But, when going to mosques, women should cover their shoulders with pants or skirts. Men should not wear shorts.

With around 15% of the population embracing Islam, the majority of the population is Islamic.

Russian Orthodoxy

Language and Religion

Kyrgyzstan is among two former Soviet Republics located in Central Asia to retain Russian as an official language. In the early 90’s Kyrgyzstan became an official bilingual nation, adding Kyrgyz as another official language. Additionally, you will find ethnic Uzbeks and Tajiks in some areas of Kyrgyzstan because of the previous Soviet policy.
