Transportation
Transportation in Kyrgyzstan relies heavily on 'marshrutkas' (shared minibuses) and shared taxis, especially for travel between cities. Within cities, taxis and buses are common. Renting a car for self-drive is also a growing option for more flexibility in exploring remote areas.
Specialty cuisine
Kyrgyz cuisine reflects its nomadic roots and is hearty and flavorful. The national dish is 'beshbarmak' (five fingers), a meat and noodle dish traditionally eaten by hand. Other popular dishes include 'manti' (steamed dumplings), 'shashlik' (grilled meat skewers), and 'plov' (a rice pilaf).
Etiquette and Tipping
- Tipping is not mandatory but is a common practice to show appreciation in restaurants and for guides or drivers. A service charge is sometimes included in the bill.
- A handshake is a common form of greeting, especially among men. It is customary to remove your shoes before entering a home. Respect for elders is highly valued.
