Drinks and food

Kyrgyzstan’s cuisine is based mainly on meat and rice. There are numerous other options for vegetables and salads. While traveling, you’ll get to try local cuisines of the region that are often a part of the cultures that have lived and moved through the centuries.

In the case of alcohol, the options are mostly limited to vodka or beer, so those looking for something different – Scotch , or Gin for example – can purchase it duty-free and take it home. Mixers such as tonic water are extremely difficult to locate in Central Asia.

The first thing to say about traveling in Central Asia is that most areas, particularly the cities and towns have a much more relaxed view of Islam than their neighboring areas to the south in Afghanistan as well as Pakistan. You’ll be amazed at the length of skirts that women are in places like Bishkek! However, it needs to be remembered that it is technically considered to be a Muslim area, so an extra dose of caution must be taken in certain locations. Women and men can both wear shorts and T-shirts. However, when visiting mosques, women should cover up their shoulders in trousers or skirts. The males should avoid wearing shorts.

With just over 15% following Islam, 80% of the population is Islamic.

Russian Orthodoxia.

Language and Religion

Kyrgyzstan was one of two former Soviet Republics located in Central Asia that retained Russian as their official language. In the 90’s Kyrgyzstan became an official dual-language country that added Kyrgyz as another official language. You will also find ethnic Uzbeks as well as Tajiks in certain areas of Kyrgyzstan because of previous Soviet policy.
