For exciting road trip affectionados and country collectors alike, join us as we take you to five of the countries in Central Asia, that is Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
During the tour you’ll be visiting the main highlights of these countries, giving you the opportunity to sample the flavours of each nation as well as experiencing the interactions between them.
The tour begins in the Turkmenistan capital of Ashgabat, for an optional city tour, before heading to Darvaza or better known as the Gates of Hell – the burning crater of Turkmenistan. You’ll then cross into Uzbekistan to visit the mythical cities of Bukhara and Samarqand. Next on the agenda is to enter Tajikistan to visit Dushanbe, Khujand, and the famous Iskanderkul Lake, situated within the Fann Mountains. Before departing Uzbekistan you’ll explore the capital, Tashkent, and its post-soviet theme park. During your time in Osh, you’ll wonder the best of Kyrgyzstan and its incredible vibe. The tour concludes in Almaty, the most hip city of Central Asia which is in complete contrast with the rest of the region!
Our Five Stans Budget tour uses the same formula as our famous Eurasian Adventure tour, meaning you can hop on or hop off anytime during the tour or join us for the entire adventure to see what Central Asia has to offer.
As with all YPT Central Asia group tours this will be led by our YPT guide based from our very own Almaty office to ensure your trip goes absolutely smooth.
