CENTRAL ASIA

hero image

The steppe and mountains of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan gave rise to a nomadic culture that has been welcoming visitors for millennia. Lying between the edge of China and the beginnings of Europe, the Silk Road threaded through this region, bringing wealth and cultural cross-pollination. Any tour should take in the minaret-crowned cities of Samarkand and Bukhara; the eagle-hunters still practising in Kyrgyzstan’s Djety-Oguz gorge; and the “singing” dunes of Kazakhstan’s Altyn-Emel National Park , which resonate with mysterious tones when the wind blows. Today’s visitors can enjoy sleeper trains, specialist lecturers and well-curated art collections, while capitalising on this region’s nomadic spirit to wander and explore.
