It could be a bit intimidating to explore the countries of Central Asia, many of them being a part of former Soviet Union. It could be a challenge to explore bits and parts of those countries that has least of development when it comes to hospitality industry. However, with increased zeal, citizens here are investing in welcoming foreigners. A horse riding trip in Mongolia with the open sky at the back or exploring the ancient trade routes across the deserts are exotic experiences you could live to tell stories of. From my opinion, you can start off with a China tour and gradually move towards the Caspian Sea in the west. These -istan countries have array of interesting places, with the least of international presence.

Travel is not very expensive in the rugged countries; however it is not what you perceive as super cheap either. More often than not, the lifestyle and value differs largely with that of the west and calls for attention or just being a bit careful. The wildlife reserves of Kazakhstan, the fuel reserves of Turkmenistan , the fascinating but cruel Ferghana Valley of Kyrguzstan, ancient cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Tashkent, and other old Silk Road citadels from Uzbekistan, desert moonscapes of Turkmenistan with ruins of old empires await you to an enthralling journey. More often than not, you are likely to return to these countries to explore more. We suggest, take your time to research out which area is safe and be informed of the prevailing political scenarios before visiting.
