Step into a world of ancient cities, rugged landscapes, and vibrant cultures with our exclusive small group tour of Central Asia. The main tour takes you through three fascinating countries—Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan with an optional extension to Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.
Discover the remnants of once-great empires, from bustling Silk Road cities to remote mountain villages where time seems to stand still. Wander through colourful bazaars, marvel at the centuries-old architecture, and experience the deep-rooted traditions that still thrive in this lesser-explored region.
Central Asia is a land of contrasts. From vast deserts to towering mountains, the scenery is as diverse as it is awe-inspiring. Whether you’re exploring ancient cities, trekking through stunning alpine landscapes, or relaxing by crystal-clear lakes, every moment on this journey offers a new and exciting experience.
Starting in Turkmenistan, you will explore the marble-clad capital city of Ashgabat. In Uzbekistan, you get lost in the breathtaking architecture of Samarkand, Khiva, and Bukhara, where intricate mosaics, grand madrasahs, and ancient bazaars tell stories of a rich and thriving history.
Journey through Tajikistan, where the towering Pamir Mountains offer some of the most dramatic scenery on the planet. In Kazakhstan, experience the awe-inspiring Charyn Canyon and the modern marvels of Almaty, blending old Soviet history with a booming cosmopolitan vibe. Finally, in Kyrgyzstan, you'll explore Bishkek and Grigoryevka National Park.
This tour combines cultural immersion, adventure, and comfort. It ensures you get up close and personal with each country’s unique heritage while enjoying the camaraderie of a small group of like-minded travellers.
