Itinerary
This grand tour weaves together Central Asia's five Stans: Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. You explore cities shaped by the Silk Road and Soviet rule, cultures preserving age-old traditions, and a tapestry of landscapes - from open steppes and wide deserts to hulking mountains and twinkling lakes. 22 days, limited to 18 guests.
Arrive in Ashgabat and check into your hotel (Oguzkent Hotel).

Visit the Earthquake Monument of Turkmenistan, commemorating a 1948 quake that levelled almost every building in the city, followed by a trip to the Gulistan Bazaar. Later drive into the desert to the Darvaza Gas Crater; the natural gas has been burning here for over 50 years, giving rise to its nickname, the 'Door to Hell.'
Explore the historical treasures of Kunya-Urgench, site of the first capital of the Khwarazmian Empire that ruled over swathes of Central Asia. After your tour, transfer by road to Khiva.
Tour the Silk Road city of Khiva, focusing on the UNESCO-protected, intricate clay-walled inner town of Itchan Kala and its numerous well-preserved madrasas, minarets, mosques and palaces.
