Ramadan timetable 2027 in Kyrgyzstan: calculated times
In Kyrgyzstan, the Ramadan timetable 2027 consists of the imsak time, the limit for the last meal before dawn, and the iftar time, the moment the fast is broken at sunset. The fast lasts 12 h 00 on the first day and 13 h 16 on the twenty-ninth.
Ramadan 2027 in Kyrgyzstan is expected to start on Monday 8 February. Bishkek's first fast lasts exactly 12 hours, from imsak at 06:23 until iftar at 18:23, before lengthening steadily with the arrival of spring in the Chuy valley.

Fasting at the Foot of the Tian Shan
Bishkek sits near 43 degrees north, beneath the snowy ridges of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too range, part of the Tian Shan. Its northern latitude makes the seasonal lengthening of the fast especially noticeable during the weeks of February and March.
The timetable above shows the fast growing from 12 hours on day one to 12 hours 36 minutes at mid-month and 13 hours 16 minutes on the 29th, an increase of seventy-six minutes in just four weeks.
When the Muftiate Announces Ramadan
Ramadan 1448 should begin on Monday 8 February 2027, with tarawih prayers starting on the night of Sunday 7 February. In Kyrgyzstan the Spiritual Administration of Muslims, known as the muftiate, confirms the date, which could move by one day.
The 27th night is anticipated on the evening of Friday 5 March. Orozo Ait, the Kyrgyz name for Eid al-Fitr, is expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027, or on Wednesday 10 March if the month reaches thirty days.
Sunrise, Sunset and Time Zone
Kyrgyzstan uses a single time zone six hours ahead of Greenwich, which places sunrise in Bishkek at 08:09 on the first day. Imsak at 06:23 and fajr at 06:33 come well before daylight, while isha is listed at 19:54.
Over the month, the morning and evening move in opposite directions: imsak advances by forty minutes to 05:43, while iftar is delayed by thirty-six minutes to 18:59. Both changes together explain the longer fasts at the end of Ramadan.
Differences Between Mosques
These times rely on the Muslim World League convention, 18° for fajr and 17° for isha. Calendars issued by the muftiate or by local mosques may differ by a few minutes, and southern towns such as Osh follow their own sun.
Boorsok, Plov and Kyrgyz Hospitality
A Kyrgyz iftar usually starts with dates, water or tea, followed by boorsok, small pieces of fried dough piled on the dastorkon, the festive spread. Plov, lagman noodles and shorpo soup are common main dishes in Bishkek homes.
Families readily invite guests to break the fast, and mosques organise collective iftars, especially in the second half of the month. Generosity towards neighbours, students living far from home and travellers is highly valued during these evenings.
Practical Tips for a Cold Season
February in Bishkek is cold, sometimes snowy, while March brings milder days. Warm suhoor dishes, hot tea after iftar and enough sleep before the early alarm help fasting workers and students keep their energy through the day.
- Set two alarms before imsak on dark winter mornings
- Choose soups, eggs and bread for a filling suhoor
- Limit salty dishes that increase thirst
- Check the muftiate calendar for your district
How much longer is the fast at the end of Ramadan?
In Bishkek, the last fast on Monday 8 March 2027 runs from imsak at 05:43 to iftar at 18:59, lasting 13 hours 16 minutes. That is seventy-six minutes more than the first fast of exactly 12 hours.
What time is iftar at mid-month?
On Monday 22 February 2027, the fifteenth day of Ramadan, iftar in Bishkek is expected at 18:41. Imsak that morning falls at 06:05, and the fast lasts 12 hours 36 minutes before isha at 20:10.
Mid-month is also when the cold usually starts to ease in the Chuy valley, so evening walks to the mosque become more pleasant. Tarawih attendance often grows during this second half, when the last ten nights draw near.
Is Orozo Ait a public holiday?
Yes, Orozo Ait is an official public holiday in Kyrgyzstan. After the morning prayer, families visit relatives, honour elders and share festive meals, while large congregational prayers are held in the capital and in towns across the country.
Before the prayer, Muslims give zakat al-fitr so that everyone can celebrate, and the days around the festival are a time for reconciliation and visits to those who are ill or alone. Boorsok and sweets again fill the dastorkon for guests.
