It’s an ideal way to enjoy the beauty and peaceful rhythm of Central Asia’s outdoors.
CULTURAL ENCOUNTERS IN TAJIKISTAN: Visit Dushanbe’s museums, explore the ancient Hisor Fortress, and choose a hike in Shirkent National Park to see fossilised dinosaur tracks. Tajikistan offers a unique mix of history, culture, and nature, connecting travellers to both Silk Road legacies and the mountainous traditions of this often-overlooked nation.
KAZAKHSTAN’S NATURAL & MODERN WONDERS: From the turquoise Big Almaty Lake to the futuristic skyline of Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan surprises at every turn. Discover the Charyn Canyon, Green Market, and falconry traditions. With dramatic scenery and cutting-edge cities, Kazakhstan offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, heritage, and modern ambition in Central Asia.
