About this trip
This trip traces the old trade routes that once linked the Mediterranean to Asia, moving through Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan over 16 days.
You'll see the domes and minarets left behind by centuries of trade and religion, then head into the Tien Shan mountains where nomadic traditions still shape daily life.
It's a guided, easy-paced group trip focused on history and local culture rather than physical challenge, with a night spent in a Kyrgyz yurt along the way.
