Is this tour available on october 2026? Why I can't find it on your official website? Is it guaranteed to happen on october if only one person?

Yes, we do operate this tour in October 2026. The reason you may not be able to find it on our website is that we are currently updating some of our tour pages, so a few itineraries are temporarily unavailable online. The October departure is guaranteed to operate, even if there is only one traveller booked, so you can make your travel plans with confidence.

Do you accept an 80 year old as a customer on this tour. I am quite fit and reasonably mobile. Health is good.

Yes, we are happy to welcome travellers aged 80+ on our tours, especially when they are in good health and reasonably mobile, as you mentioned. We regularly host senior travellers from many countries, and many enjoy the tour very much. This particular tour is cultural and scenic rather than physically demanding. There will be some walking during sightseeing in historical cities, bazaars, and nature areas, but the pace is generally comfortable with regular breaks, transportation between sites, and free time to rest. If needed, we can also make small adjustments along the way to ensure comfort, such as allowing extra rest time or arranging easier access where possible. April is actually one of the best times to travel in Central Asia, with pleasant temperatures and beautiful spring scenery. Please feel free to let us know if you have any specific mobility concerns, and we will be glad to advise further.

I travelled through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan with Steppe Journeys in April 2026, and it became one of the most memorable trips I’ve had so far. I’ve now visited around 35 countries, with these three being my most recent, and Central Asia genuinely exceeded my expectations. What made the journey stand out most was the people. Odil was consistently attentive and responsive, while Muhammad, together with the local guides and drivers, made travelling across three countries feel remarkably seamless. The guides were knowledgeable, warm and genuinely proud to share their countries with us, which gave the trip a much more personal feel. I was also very fortunate with my travelling companion. We started the journey as complete strangers and ended it as friends, which made an already memorable experience even better. For future departures, a simple pre-tour introduction or shared WhatsApp group could be useful—not only for travellers to connect beforehand, but also for guide details, contact numbers and daily updates. A few small refinements could make the experience even better. Some transfers felt earlier than necessary, particularly in Khiva, where we left so early that we missed breakfast, while another group from the same hotel still managed to eat and make the same flight comfortably. There were also unpleasant shower smells at the hotels in Almaty and Issyk-Kul, which may be worth raising with the individual properties. If the itinerary were ever extended, I would also love to see the option of a day trip from Samarkand to the Seven Lakes (Haft Kul) in Tajikistan. I appreciate that this would require an additional day, but it would make an already strong itinerary even more special. One of the most unexpected moments of the trip was somehow ending up being interviewed by local TV in Khiva—definitely not something I expected when I booked the tour, but one of those little moments that made the journey even more memorable. By the end, I was already thinking about coming back. The history, architecture, and landscapes were incredible, but the warmth of the people stayed with me most. A big thank you to Odil, Muhammad, Zaure, Ayana, all the guides and drivers, and the whole Steppe Journeys team for making this journey happen. It’s an experience I’ll remember for a very long time.Show more

Apologies. I thought I had reviewed my most excellent holiday. I couldn't fault anything. It was all just fascinating, nice accommodation. Uzbekistan is the most beautiful country. The Uzbeks are the kindest most accommodating and generous people. I stayed 4 days either end of my trip in Tashkent. Single older female traveller with absolutely no concerns about my safety. Odil is an efficient communicator and Bek is one of a kind. All of our guides were so good humoured and well organised. They went above and beyond for an injured person on our trip . I would love to go backShow more

- Steppe JourneysOperator•Written July 2026

  Traveler•Written July 2026
  Is Song Kul (Son Kul) Lake and a yurt camp stay included? If not, is this available as an optional add-on and what is the cost associated with it?
- Steppe JourneysOperator•Written July 2026
  We can add Songkol visit instead of Cholpan ata lake in this itinerary. However this is a group tour, so it should be booked as a private trip as a group tour itinerary is not possible to change. Day 10: Bishkek → Burana Tower → Kochkor → Song-Kul, Overnight in a traditional yurt. Day 11: Morning at Song-Kul (horse riding, walks, nomadic life), Drive to Karakol (around 5–6 hours), Overnight in Karakol.
