Central Asia 13-Day Tours and Itineraries

“The trip was amazing! Exploring 4 of the Stan countries was so much fun and different than other trips! We went to heights more than 2500 m above sea level, and others at more than 1500 m. Malika our CEO was so energetic and amazing as well. She's so skilled and was able to encourage us to push through and actively participate throughout the journey. We lived in a variety of stays, but the good thing once we're done with a guesthouse/home stay it's usually followed by a nice hotel stay where we can unwind and do our laundry and prepare for the next trip”

“This was a busy trip through three very contrasting countries. Almost a surfeit of historical monuments in Uzbekistan, just a glimpse of Kazakhstan and then the natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan. Some long bus drives but with plenty of "photo stops" and the drives are a great way to appreciate the scenery and see a little of local life along the way. The food was fine, and it was fairly easy to avoid meat, with plenty of delicious salads and pumpkin manti (a type of dumpling) usually available. Also some lovely soups, but often with unexpected chunks of lamb or beef. I did also enjoy the plov and the kebabs, as well as the fresh bread. The people were mostly friendly, welcoming and curious - we encountered no problems.”

“This is a full on trip across three countries and at times travelling through mountainous areas on fairly rough roads. As a result this isn't the holiday to take if your looking for relaxation but the pay off is an amazing contrast of stunning ancient buildings, breathtaking scenery and mixing with people who have had limited contact with western europeans. At times we were being photographed as much as the locals! The tour really does take you back through the centuries to the time of Tamerlane and even earlier. The soviet restoration of some sites has been done incredibly well and we felt welcome in all of the mosques and mausoleums we visited”
