There\u2019s a vast swathe of land that stretches from China to Europe where merchants once undertook extraordinary journeys along what became known as \u2018The Silk Road\u2019. These ancient lands formed of mountains, desert and vast, open steppe are studded with ancient cities where vibrant blue domes and towering minarets. Join us as we take a brief tour of the Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, otherwise known as \u2018The Stans\u2019\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkmenistan <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Ashgabat in Turkmenistan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


Sitting at the point where the Silk Road<\/a> crosses from the Middle East into Central Asia, Turkmenistan is perhaps, the most enigmatic of the \u2018Stans\u2019. It is still full of the same ancient traditions and spectacular landscapes that mark the region as something special. The ancient cities of Merv and Konye-Urgench are a memorable visit with historical monuments and mosaic patterns, but the biggest highlight is Ashgabat \u2013 known as the City of White Marble \u2013 which holds the world record for having the most marble-clad buildings. 543 buildings are lined with white marble, which covers a total area of 4.5 million square meters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Karakum Desert covers\napproximately 70% of Turkmenistan\u2019s land area at 135,000 square miles! The name\nKarakum is derived from two Turkic words, \u2018Kara Kum\u2019 which means \u2018black sand,\nand despite a canal running across the desert, it remains to be one of the\ndriest places on earth. The 850-mile Karkaum Canal was first constructed in\n1954 and is one of the largest desert irrigation projects in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uzbekistan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Samarkand in Uzbekistan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Uzbekistan <\/a>is home to a mesmerising collection of ancient cities and timeless architecture. You\u2019ll find the legendary cities of Bukhara, Samarkand and Khiva, holding some of the world’s most exquisite Islamic buildings, with fabulous mosques, medressas and mausoleums scattered in the most beautiful mosaic tiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uzbekistan is one of only two countries in the world that are doubly landlocked countries, with the nearest coast being two countries away! It is also home to the World\u2019s largest Open-Pit Gold Mine, which is 2.17 miles long, and produces up to 2 million ounces of gold every year. If that\u2019s not enough, Uzbekistan is also home to five UNESCO Heritage sites, so there\u2019s plenty to see <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tajikistan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Dushanbe, Tajikistan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For hundreds of years, the Silk Road wound its way across Tajikistan, passing over towering mountains, through lush valleys and beside beautiful hued lakes. Over 90% of the country\u2019s terrain is mountainous, with over 50% of that being over 3000m above sea level. The tallest mountain in Tajikistan is called Ismoil Somoni Peak and is a staggering 7,495m tall (which is taller than Mount Kilimanjaro and mount Fuji!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tajikistan is also home to the\nsecond biggest man-made dam in the world \u2013 the Nurek Dam, which is only 5m\nsmaller than the largest man-made dam in the world, Jinping-I dam in China. To\nput this into perspective, both mentioned dams are over 75m higher than the\nHoover Dam in the USA \u2013 which 7 million people visit every year, compared to\nonly 215,600 that visit Tajikistan every year, and see the dam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Journey through the heart of Central Asia crossing starkly beautiful deserts and magnificent mountain landscapes. Discover ancient cities full of intricate Islamic architecture, thriving bazaars and a mystical old-world atmosphere, all inextricably linked with the legends of the Silk Road.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Kyrgyzstan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Bishkek, Kyrgystan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tucked in the heart of Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan is a destination defined by its outstanding, unspoilt landscapes and age-old nomadic traditions. 80% of the country is mountainous and includes the magnificent Tian Shan Mountains \u2013 formed over 50 million years ago. The highest point in Kyrgystan is 7,439m,(which isn\u2019t as high as Ismoil Somoni Peak in Tajikistan) but Krygystan does have it\u2019s trump card with the largest high-altitude lake, called Issyk-Kul. The lake is 113 miles long, 37 miles wide and is 668 meters deep at its deepest point. Its capital city Bishkek is said to be one of the greenest cities in the world as all streets are lined with bushes, trees and grass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 UNESCO World Heritage\nsites in Krygystan, as well as a 3,000-year-old city called Osh \u2013 which became\none of the key trading points on the Silk Road. For any Britons looking to\nvisit, you do not need a visa, if your visit is less than 90 days long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kazakhstan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Tashkent, Kazakhstan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The world\u2019s ninth largest country, Kazakhstan <\/a>encompasses a huge array of landscapes from the Caspian Sea to the Altai Mountains. Kazakhstan is dotted with traditional settlements and translates as \u2018land of the wanderers\u2019. A stroll through the leafy streets of Almaty, the largest city, will seem almost familiar to European eyes, whilst away from the city you\u2019ll find true adventure – out on the steppe or in the spectacular Tian Shan Mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For stunning mountain views, head\nfor Big Almaty Lake that sits amongst the snowy peaks some 2,500 metres above\nsea level. There are 5 UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kazakhstan, and the\nultra-modern capital of Astana is a popular favourite for tourists to visit,\nwhere you can ascend the Baiterek Tower for panoramic views of the city, visit\nthe Palace of Peace and Reconciliation or the Nur-Astana Mosque. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
