Tour Details
All five Central Asian republics
This is our signature journey through all five Central Asian republics — from the snowy Tian Shan above Almaty and the alpine lake of Issyk-Kul to the Silk Road cities of Uzbekistan, the mountains of Tajikistan and the white-marble capital of Turkmenistan.
We combine scenic drives, fast trains and short flights so you spend your time exploring rather than in transit. Visa support for every country is included in the price.
