Thin sweater;
Windbreaker/jacket;
Light scarf (you can buy a local one made of natural cotton or silk);

Documents:

Citizens of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Tajikistan, Cuba, Vietnam, Japan, and North Korea can easily stay in Kyrgyzstan without a visa. Russian citizens can enter Kyrgyzstan with an internal passport.

Visa-free entry to Kyrgyzstan for up to 60 days is also available for citizens of 45 countries (more details here). In addition, citizens of many countries can also acquire visas in a simplified manner.

Special permission is required for visiting border areas.
When leaving a hotel, make sure the staff provides documents indicating the length of stay. These registration cards will also need to be presented to passport control officers at the border. Foreign citizens who are exempt from registration in the Kyrgyz Republic are those for whom visa-free entry is in effect, provided their stay in the Kyrgyz Republic does not exceed 60 days (30 days for Russian citizens).

Citizens of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova can enter Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 60 days.

Citizens of over 70 countries, including Ukraine, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Tajikistan, Turkey, Czech Republic, and Estonia, can enter Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 30 days.

Entry into Uzbekistan requires a passport.

For entry, a child's passport or a parent's passport with the child's details (under 14 years) must be submitted. Children under 16 are exempt from filling out an entry customs declaration upon arrival at the airport and from obtaining temporary registration in Uzbekistan.

Medical insurance must be arranged in advance before entering the country. A medical insurance policy covering at least $30,000 should include coverage for COVID-19 treatment.

Organization:

We do not recommend bringing children under 12 on group tours, as the pace of travel is quite high, excursions are intense, and the material presented is geared towards an adult audience. Additionally, children can delay the entire group, affecting the scheduled excursion timetable.

For traveling with young children, we recommend an individual format and will be happy to tailor a route that will be interesting for all family members. Furthermore, individual excursions can be adjusted on the spot.

To obtain a tourist SIM card, contact the information desk staff and present your passport with the entry stamp to Uzbekistan, choose a tariff plan, and make the payment. Tourist SIM cards are also available at the central railway station in Tashkent, in mobile operator offices, and at the 'International Hotel Tashkent' and 'Saehat' hotels.
