There are no compulsory immunisations that travelers must take to Kyrgyzstan but you must be up-to-date on Typhoid Tetanus, Polio and Hepatitis A. We suggest you seek advice from your local GP or travel clinic on the proper vaccinations and preventative treatment.
Food and beverages
Kyrgyzstan’s cuisine is mostly based on rice and meat. But, there are numerous other options for salads and vegetable choices. If you travel around, you’ll have a chance to experience local dishes from the region that often cross-pollinate with the different cultures that have existed and moved around over the millennia.
For alcohol, options are typically limited to vodka or beer. Those who want something different, like Scotch or Gin for example – can purchase it duty-free and take it home. Mixers like tonic water are difficult to find in Central Asia.
Cultural Sensitivity
You are likely to meet the locals, all with their distinctive customs and traditions. We therefore request that you be considerate and to treat them with respect. You can always count on your guides or tour-leaders to assist you.
Central Asia has a laid low-key approach to Islam. This is the first thing you should be aware of while traveling in Central Asia particularly in cities and towns.

But, it must be remembered that Bishkek is technically considered to be a Muslim region , and therefore some caution is required at certain locations. Both sexes can wear shorts and T-shirts.
