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.

Janice M. | Traveled in August
Our tour guide Oliver was the best guide ever. I have been with many and she was by far the best. I think my most memorable places were just enjoying the history that came along with the tours. I was just in amazement to see the act of God in another whole world 🌍 to me. I just can’t pick one place.
Bethany | Traveled in August
Brilliant! Lots of different activities and locations to suit all travellers as it was a real mix of island life, cultural town and major city. Trip managers and local guides are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about your trip experience. Highly recommend.
Rachel | Traveled in August
Amazing leader Carlos. There were just 2 families in our group with large differences in age range. 8 year 12 and 14. Very different needs in the group (due to age range) but Carlos was brilliant at ensuring there was something for everyone. Kayaking was amazing with beautiful places, and the feeling of freedom on the open sea. He was good at engaging everyone to work together. My daughter wasn't strong enough to dive into the green cave but straight afterwards all the kids/teens dive bombed off the cliffs which she loved. And this made up for the disappointment of not seeing the cave. Really well organised and very enjoyable trip. Definitely recommend.
Suzanne R. | Traveled in August
So exciting seeing so many sites ! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable & professional. He knew the best spots to stop, got us to places on time( Old Faithful erupted just as he predicted) , I can’t say enough about him !
Anna S | Traveled in August
This tour to Kruger National Park and Namibia was excellent. It was better than I imagined with the local CEO's making the trip easy for my husband and me to relax, knowing we were in safe, experienced hands.
Renee P. | Traveled in August
My tour director and lovely hostess was . She was a true professional, and she presented the history of Ireland to our group throughout our tour in a remarkable format with fact, photography, and humor combined. She provided several unexpected fun surprises and treats along the way and tailored our tour and information to suit us as a group as well as individuals. Her attention to detail was amazing. It was a birthday trip for me and had apparently noted that on her own from my registration info and acknowledged it to me and our tour group with a Happy Birthday song. I appreciated her personal touch with those kinds of niceties. Our coach driver, was excellent. My first European tour with Insight Vacations was exceptional, and I recommend the company and its staff to others.
