Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan Tours & Trips
What if we told you Central Asia's Silk Road is still there to explore? You'll sleep in actual yurts beside Issyk-Kul Lake, wander through Bukhara's ancient bazaars, stand in Samarkand's Registan Square wondering how they built it, learn how they make those felt carpets, watch an eagle hunter work with his bird, and explore Khiva's maze-like streets. Real adventure stuff.

this was the most interesting, fascinating and enjoyable trip I have been on...and I have been on quite a few others. It was an area I had never been in before and of which I knew very little. I came away in love with the countries. The pace of the trip was nearly perfect, the accommodations excellent, and the adventures were kind of other worldly. But all that almost pales in comparison when considering the guides...the Guides were as good, as knowledgeable, as friendly and as helpful as any that i could ever imagine. I WANT TO GO BACK!
The Five Stans of The Silk Road - J
Jacquelyn • traveled in September
Wow, we loved our tour to four of the stans! Excellent hotels, many in amazing 5 star locations, with wonderful staff. Our entire private tour more than met our expectations with such a variety of sites, experiences, and cultures, both old and new. The pace was busy but it allowed us to pack a lot into a short time. The variety of guides and drivers was superb with very attentive, kind people. Some of them went above and beyond with thoughtfulness and kind gestures. We will most definitely recommend tourradar as well as use you for our future travels. Thank you so much.

What our customers ask about Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan Tours & Trips
What Makes Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan Special?
You'll find two totally different experiences here - Kyrgyzstan's all about those incredible Tian Shan Mountains perfect for outdoor adventures while Uzbekistan draws you in with amazing Silk Road cities like Samarkand Bukhara and Khiva. It's really cool how you can combine both on tours these days. Take the Five Stans tour for example where you'll get to explore Bishkek's monuments and Oak Park one day then find yourself standing in Samarkand's magnificent Registan Square the next.
How Can You Really Experience Kyrgyz Nomadic Life?
The best way to dive into Kyrgyzstan's nomadic culture is definitely through yurt stays they're absolutely authentic. You can join felt-making workshops in Kochkor watch eagle hunters do their thing near Bokonbayevo and enjoy home-cooked meals with local families. If you're looking for the full experience tours like Kyrgyzstan's Silk Road Journey let you spend nights in yurt camps near stunning Song-Kul and Issyk-Kul lakes. You'll even get to visit local cooperatives where they make traditional felt carpets it's really fascinating stuff.
What's The Best Way to Get Around These Countries?
Getting around's actually pretty straightforward. Uzbekistan's got these efficient high-speed trains connecting the main cities while marshrutkas shared taxis are your go-to for smaller towns. Buses work great for longer trips if you're watching your budget. Crossing borders? Shared taxis usually work well and lots of tours include private transfers. The Astana to Tashkent tour's really interesting shows you different ways to travel including this amazing 620-mile overnight train journey from Almaty to Tashkent plus those speedy trains between Bukhara and Samarkand.
When Should You Plan Your Trip?
You'll want to aim for those sweet spot months March to May or September to October when the weather's just right for both mountain adventures and city exploring. Summer can get pretty intense in Uzbekistan while winter brings snow to Kyrgyzstan making some mountain passes tough to reach. The Bishkek to Ashgabat tour's really good at working with these seasonal changes. For instance they'll switch things up in April and October using the Almaluu Yurt Camp near Lake Issyk Kul instead of Djety Oguz when it gets cooler.
