We are interested in a private tour through the 4 Stans (excluding Turkmenistan) for about 10-11 days around Sept Oct. We are very interested in the nature and old glory of the Silk Road, the architecture and traditions of these countries. Is it possible to work together to build an itinerary?

Visa-free entry into Uzbekistan for up to 30 days (through land borders and on Uzbekistan Airways flights) is established for US citizens who have reached the age of 55 years. But based on personal experience and the experience of my colleagues, it is better to get a visa. US citizens do not need a visa to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan; there is a visa-free regime of 30 days.

What kind of accommodation can I expect?

You can choose between 4-star and 5-star hotels based on your preference.

Is it possible to book for one person as no option on tour radar? if so cost?

  1. On the first day, we arrive in Bishkek and leave for the Chon Kemin Valley. No overnight in Bishkek? 2. Will there be a single guide or country-bound multiple guides? 3. We are targeting end of Sept - beginning of Oct for our trip. Is this a good time interval? 4. What would be the cost of the trip

  Joe
  Traveler•Written June 2024
  Four-star hotels are good. I know the hotel ratings are international, but just to make sure I have the right notion, for example, Ichan Q'al or Radisson Blue in Tashkent are what I understand to be four-star hotels. Am I in the right ballpark?
- J
  Joe
  Traveler•Written June 2024
  We were surprised by the cost. I looked at other private tours for 11 days - granted not exactly the same but in the region and hitting the major landmarks - and they were less than $3000/person for lux accommodations. I understand a bit more because we customized it. In full disclosure I feel that we need to get different quotes for this itinerary. I also looked at the hotels and for double occupancy, we'll have a max of $150/day + the meals in Uzbekistan are not included, and the train is second class.
