Travellers visiting Kyrgyzstan are not required to be immunized, but they should have the most recent Typhoid and Tetanus vaccines. It’s a good idea to ask your local GP for advice on the most effective immunisations, as well as preventative therapies.
Drinks and food
Kyrgyzstan’s cuisine is mostly based on meat and rice. But, there are other choices for salads and other vegetables. You can taste local cuisines as you travel, often overlapping with other cuisines.
The options for alcohol are limited to beer or vodka. Anyone looking to experiment with something else – such as Scotch or Gin – must purchase it duty-free and bring it with them. Mixers like tonic water are extremely difficult to locate in Central Asia.

When you travel with us, you’ll often meet local people, each with distinctive traditions and customs. We therefore ask you to be considerate and to show them respect. You can always rely on your guides or tour-leaders to assist you.
One thing to note about travelling in Central Asia is that most cities and towns, have a more laidback attitude to Islam than their neighboring areas to the south in Afghanistan as well as Pakistan. In areas like Bishkek you’ll be shocked by the length of women’s skirts! It’s an Muslim region, so it’s essential to be careful in certain places. Both genders can wear T-shirts and shorts. When visiting mosques women should cover their shoulders with trousers or skirts. The males should avoid wearing shorts.

Language and Religion
Kyrgyzstan is one of two former Soviet Republics located in Central Asia to retain Russian as their official language. In the 90’s Kyrgyzstan was declared to be a bilingual country adding Kyrgyz as another official language. Due to Soviet policies, you can see ethnic Uzbeks or Tajiks in certain areas of Kyrgyzstan.
