The adventures

Highlights of Central Asia 

Get a taste of Central Asia's charm on this 16-day trip through ancient silk road towns and busy bazaars.

Visit four out of the five Stans as you travel the Kazak steppe and Uzbek Silk Road towns by train. Starting in Bishkek, cross the border to the charming Almaty, catch an overnight train to Uzbekistan and seek out the delicious plov, then explore the white marbled capital of Ashgabat.

Spend a night in a traditional yurt camp near Issyk-kul Lake, hike the flaming red rocks at Jety Ogus, toast with locally produced wine to a Kazak home-cooked feast and learn about the full Silk Road history in the blue-hued mosques, madrasas and ruins in Samarkand, Bukhara and Merv.

Mongolia Expedition

Travel deep into the northern Mongolia Taiga to trace the footsteps of the Tsaatan Reindeer herders on this 14-day journey.

See the majestic Chinggis Khan Statue outside of Ulaanbaatar, enjoy a Mongolian BBQ with the Darkhad nomads in their family ger, come close to the ancient bronze age Deer Stone monuments in Uushig valley, take in the majestic landscape of Khoridol Saridag Mountain and Khuvsgul lake and the most important of all, experience the Tsaatan reindeer herders life in their camp that is only accessible on foot.

Take part in their daily chores, learn about their wisdom of going with the nature's flow and take in this challenging but transformative experience of being away from modern civilization.
