The Stans are enjoying a moment in the limelight. There’s been a huge surge of interest in this region, both in the public eye and for Explore specifically. Our recent digital event Silk Road Secrets was the most attended to date (you can watch the recording here) and we’ve noticed bookings to Uzbekistan have increased by 52% compared to last year. So we couldn’t help ourselves – this new two-week itinerary was a joyful inevitability! 

Our newest Silk Road adventure combines the stunning gorges and remote villages of Kyrgyzstan, the rich history and vibrant, blue-tiled architecture of Uzbekistan’s madrassas and mausoleums, and the charms of Turkestan, Kazakhstan’s hidden gem.
