Border Areas
Tensions exist over recognition of the Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan borders. In the past there have been occasional clashes along the borders involving exchange of gunfire.
Landmines are present along Kyrgyzstan’s borders with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. We recommend that you only use officially recognised border crossings if entering Uzbekistan and Tajikistan by land. Border crossings are often closed at short notice.
