Why Go to Central Asia?

Central Asia is one of the last few regions of the world that is still considered to be off-the-beaten-path for travelers who are looking for a real adventure. The region also played an important role in connecting the East to the West during the Silk Road time, hence why there are so many ancient monuments, stunning old towns, and forgotten cultures for you to explore. Not just that, the region is extremely diverse, making it the perfect area to backpack around for a month or more. With the stunningly beautiful mountains of Kyrgyzstan, the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan, the stunning architecture of Uzbekistan, the Gateway to Hell in Turkmenistan, and the rich culture of Kazakhstan, you will never get bored in Central Asia.

When to Go to Central Asia?

The best time to visit Central Asia is during Spring (April - May) or Autumn (September - November) when the weather is mild in all the countries in Central Asia and the shifting colors of forests and mountains are in full swing. You can go during the mid-summer months, but be aware that Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are mostly deserts, so it will be very hot and uncomfortable if you plan to take public transportation.
