Time your adventure perfectly with 3,100 tours departing in October 2026 in Asia. Seasonal highlights and optimal conditions await, backed by 17,000 verified experiences.
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 Almaty, Kazakhstan, to Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, includes Chon-Kemin and Bishkek and stays in guesthouses and hotels rather than yurts. The other itinerary runs from Turkmenistan to Kazakhstan, includes Son Kul Lake and there are two nights staying in yurts in Kyrgyzstan.

The Ruby Valley is one of the least visited trekkings I have done so far. No surprise that we were very warm welcomed in every village and took part of the local life including simple but clean homestays and delicious, freshly cooked nepaly meals. Thanks to our 2 guides Pemba Sherpa and Saujan Tamang (from the Ruby Valley) who did a great job and we had a great time. A big thanks two our Nepali friends. We can only recomend both of them to anyone wishing to book a trekking in Nepal. Sandra

My friend and I had a fantastic time on our trip. We were met by someone who helped us get the necessary paperwork, traveled to Wadi rum (we slept), stopped at a nice shop where we purchased beautiful scarves, and departed with our Wadi Rum local guide! Our guide was awesome, know all of the best spots to visit and photo spots as well! He was kind and attentive as I got sick at the beginning of our journey. We enjoyed staying at Sun Camp - the staff was so kind to us and generous in their efforts. We were fasting and they prepared food for us that night so we wouldn't be hungry. Our driver drove us to Petra (we slept), checked in to the hotel, and thoroughly enjoyed our guide who was also a local! We definitely benefited from his knowledge and connections! We enjoyed dinner in a cave and the following day our driver made arrangements for us to add an additional stop (for a cost). We were blessed to visit Jesus' baptism site before enjoying the amazing Dead Sea!
Me and my friend wanted to trek in the Everest region for quite a while and it was Rayuna, our trip planner who answered all our questions prior the trip to get all our doubts cleared. Right from the start till the time we got back from the mountains, we were treated in the best way that I can ever remember. Suresh our guide led us throughout with his long years of experience and expertise. You guys are simply the best and we will surely not hesitate to recommend you people to all our friends.
The trip was amazing thanks to our guides, Rishi and Santosh. They were so knowledgable and friendly, and really made the trip special. This was an unforgettable 2 week trip, thank you thank you thank you!

Very responsive and informative in emails! We had our trip planned smoothly by Ganesh. Our guide Roshan is helpful and funny! Had a great trip to Mohare Danda end of June. Will definitely come back when it's not monsoon season :)
Dear Sir or Madam,
If you decide to go for trekking, exploring the Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan National Park you should turn to Nepal Lion Treks and Tours company.
They provide a lot of different services in Nepal so you may find what everything you need.
First of all we booked the trekking to Everest Panorama View and we were really happy, because the service was in highest level.
Guide Prakash, and CEO Shiva made a lot of efforts and were very attentive for the best quality. Also we booked the car with driver, Paragliding in Pokhara, exploring the Kathmandu, Pokhara and accommodation in Chtiwan National park, with different activities and we totally forgot about the problems, and enjoined the trip.
For your best trip in Nepal we are strictly recommend you to take a connection with Nepal Lion Treks.
Rgds
