Central Asia - The Silk Road 2025

Central Asia, a bustling region in the past, is one of the off-beaten-track travel destinations today. Better known as the Silk Road, the route through Central Asia connected many of the region's big cities, such as Bukhara, Samarkand, Khujand, and Osh. The merchants stopped in these cities while traveling between Europe and China and traded valuable goods, knowledge, and traditions with the local people. They contributed to Central Asia's evolution to a vibrant region with world-known scholars, master artisans, and a diverse population. The Silk Road passed through remote and vivid landscapes of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan's vast deserts, Tajikistan's towering Pamir Mountains, and Kyrgyzstan's magic lakes. Traveling in Central Asia, you will follow in the footsteps of the Silk Road traders and explore the most famous sights in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan.
