Vast deserts, open steppe, fertile valleys and striking mountain ranges shape the landscapes of the Five Stans, the five former Soviet republics of Central Asia. Their towns and cities reveal the movement of armies, traders, and scholars over millennia: Greek and Persian campaigns, Mongol expansion, Silk Road exchange, ambitious astronomers, and Soviet-era experiments. Encounter traditional villages, intricately tiled madrassas, alpine lakes, lively markets and wide boulevards − a vivid portrait of a region where histories overlap and contemporary Central Asian culture continues to evolve in fascinating ways.
About this trip: We have two versions of this trip. One starts in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, and ends in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and the other runs in reverse. Apart from the direction of travel, the two itineraries are similar – the main difference is the route taken through Kyrgyzstan and the accommodation there. This itinerary runs from Turkmenistan to Kazakhstan, includes Son Kul Lake, and has two nights staying in yurts in Kyrgyzstan. The reverse itinerary includes Chon-Kemin and Bishkek and stays in guesthouses and hotels rather than yurts.

Central Asia Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from 23-Day tours across Central Asia
Anonymous | Traveled in June
There were 2 leaders the one in Kyrgistan was very good and the one in Uzbekistan was poor
Anonymous | Traveled in June
A short introduction to the highlights of a country with diverse, stunning scenery - lakes, mountains, wide valleys - hospitable locals, great food. The walks were moderate with some short scrabbling over rocks in places but not difficult. Accommodation was always clean. Tour leader Aisuluu was efficient, informative and spoke English very well. There were some long days on the bus - plenty of stops but worth noting. There are signs of tourist development around Issyk kul lake so visit sooner rather than later.

Both tour leaders were very helpful and very knowledgeable. The accommodation booked was very comfortable. The tour events were varied enough to keep everyone interested and the pace of travel fine.

Both tour leaders were very good. The itinerary was very good ... we saw and experienced so much! The tour group was fragmented and poor ... the worst group of people that I have travelled with. In particular one person on the tour refused to speak with or acknowledge me and one of the others on the tour, bringing all of the charm of a spiteful girls playground to the experience. A tour group is a transient and fascinating experience in social balance. Even if you don't get on with people there has to be a recognition that making the experience uncomfortable for other people on the tour is not acceptable.

What a great trip! Would avoid the high temperature times if possible and brush up on the history before you leave, and the similarities and differences between the countries. A very few of the days were incredibly long, so be forewarned. An hour to eat and repack, etc. for departure can be a bit of a pain, especially if you have no idea of the day's explicit itinerary.

Very comprehensive and well organised.
