The selection of alcohol is limited to beer or vodka. Anyone who wants to sample other drinks – like Scotch or Gin is advised to purchase it duty-free and bring it with them. Mixers such as tonic water are extremely difficult to locate in Central Asia.

The first thing to mention about visiting Central Asia is that most areas, particularly the cities and towns, take a more laidback attitude to Islam than their neighbors to the south of Afghanistan and Pakistan. In places such as Bishkek you’ll be amazed by the length of women’s skirts! It’s an Muslim zone, therefore it is imperative to be mindful in certain areas. T-shirts and shorts can be worn for both genders, but when attending mosques, women should cover their shoulders and wear trousers or skirts that are just below the knee, while the male should not wear shorts.
With only a little over 15% of the population following Islam, more than 80% of the population is Islamic.

Kyrgyzstan is one of two former Soviet Republics in Central Asia to retain Russian as an official language.
