Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan & Kazakhstan

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan together form the heart of Central Asia, a region shaped by the ancient Silk Road trade routes that once connected China to the Mediterranean. Uzbekistan draws travellers with its monumental Islamic architecture in cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva, while Kazakhstan offers vast steppe landscapes, modern Almaty, and the otherworldly Charyn Canyon. Kyrgyzstan is a magnet for adventure seekers, with dramatic Tian Shan mountain ranges, nomadic yurt-stay culture, and world-class trekking around Son Kul and Issyk-Kul. The trio is a favourite for those looking to explore one of the world's most historically rich and least-touristed regions.

The Silk Road Self-Launched: Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan & Kazakhstan

Follow the legendary Silk Road through three of Central Asia's most captivating countries — entirely on your own terms. This self-launched version of Exodus's classic Silk Road tour takes you from the Tien Shan mountains and Issyk Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan, across Kazakhstan's dramatic Charyn Canyon, and deep into Uzbekistan's dazzling Islamic heritage cities of Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. You'll swap guided minibus convoys for local shared taxis, sleeper trains and fast Afrosiyob rail services, and trade group hotel blocks for well-reviewed guesthouses and boutique budget hotels. The route, the experiences and the magic are identical — at a fraction of the price. Costs below are approximate estimates per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan & Kazakhstan yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
