Central Asia has emerged as a new travel destination after collapse of the Soviet Union, with five independent Republics: Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan.
Four countries belong to the Turkik culture and speak Turkik languages which relatively resemble the Turkish language. The fifth, Tajikistan, speaks Tajik which is similar to Persian, and, is therefore, a bit different in cultural appearance and tradition.
While visiting the so-called Stan countries, it is appropriate to make an attempt to see several countries in one tour, instead of just one. For travelers arriving from USA, Japan or Western Europe, they can save significant money on international air fare, by arriving to a capital, for example, Tashkent, and then making short flights or drive to neighbouring countries.
A classic recommended tour would include, of course, Uzbekistan with its magnificent ancient cities Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. Then, you could go to see the alpine republic of Kyrgyzstan, with unique nature, gorgeous mountains, fresh air and original culture of nomadic tribes who have lived centuries on the Great Silk Road. The third destination you could fit in one tour is Turkmenistan, the country of deserts and a very peculiar political system which built splendid cities of marble and gold right amidst the dunes.
The three countries feature rich cultural background, with immense Islamic heritage and monuments, as well as remnants of Buddhism, Zoroastrinism, Judaism and Christianity. This area was a key part of the famous Silk Road through which camel caravans were carrying merchandise from China and India to Europe.
In order to make your tour a smooth and pleasurable one, you will probably need to contact one of local travel agenies in the region. Because of pretty rigid political system and visa requirements, especially for Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, you may need such assistance in order to get visa support or LOI - letter of invitation.
