Is tap water safe to drink in Kyrgyzstan?

The easy-to-read guide makes clear the distinction between safe and risky locations with a colour-coded map and definitive list of destinations.

Unsurprisingly, tap water is safest in the developed world, including: UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Northern and Western Europe, the US and Japan.

Conversely, places such as Central America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East are deemed high-risk.

Unfortunately, Kyrgyzstan is amongst the 187 countries with un-safe tap water.

That said, just because a country is included on the ‘unsafe’ list doesn’t necessarily mean their tap water is dirty – rather, it could just be unsuitable for visitors.

This means that travelers could get ill because the pathogens in the water are foreign to their immune systems, not because what they drink is infected with faeces.
