I spent 5 months traveling through Central Asia and it was the trip of my lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the most epic region I have ever been to, and not only because this used to be the heart of the Silk Road and has some truly legendary mountains but also because, despite being a barely visited region, it’s a very accessible, tourist-friendly destination which I would even recommend to my mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central Asia, however, is pretty big, a region where you could spend months exploring and, for those who are short of time, choosing the right itinerary that fits their traveling needs can be a tough decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it doesn’t surprise me at all when many readers email me asking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only have X weeks to travel in Central Asia, which countries would you recommend to me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that the 5 Central Asian Republics are, on the one hand, very similar – probably because they are all former Soviet Republics, times in which Soviet leaders tried to implement homogeneity across their socialist state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they are also very different, each country offering a truly unique experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, I wanted to give you a detailed overview of each one of the Central Asian Republics, as well as general travel tips for Central Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
