Day 1: Arrive Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan – City Tour

Arrive early morning in Bishkek, where an early check-in at your hotel is included, along with a transfer. Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan’s largest city, is the modern cultural, political, and economic heart of the country. Known for its wide streets, distinctive architecture, and relaxed pace of life, Bishkek stands out with its lush greenery. The abundance of parks fills the city with fresh, clean air, and it’s said that Bishkek has more trees per resident than any other city in Central Asia.

Today, we’ll explore Bishkek on a walking tour, starting at Ala-Too Square, where we’ll witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony. Highlights include the Manas Monument, honouring the legendary national hero of the Kyrgyz people, and the Independence Monument, alongside the main government buildings.

Built in the 10th and 11th centuries, the minaret originally stood at 40 metres, though some researchers suggest it may have been as high as 45 metres.

We’ll then continue to the southern shore of Issyk-Kul Lake, one of the world’s largest mountain lakes. Nestled in the Northern Tien Shan at an altitude of 1608 metres, Issyk-Kul is renowned for its natural beauty, unique climate, and pristine surroundings. Often called the “pearl of Kyrgyzstan,” the lake is celebrated for its mountain-sea climate, fresh air, abundant sunshine, mineral-rich waters, and numerous hot springs, making it a truly special destination.

This gorge, one of the most scenic spots along Issyk-Kul’s southern coast, is renowned for its high waterfalls and dense spruce forests. It’s also home to Kyrgyzstan’s largest gold mine, Kumtor. Later in the afternoon, we’ll make a brief stop at Jeti-Oguz Gorge, known for the striking Seven Bulls and Broken Heart Rock formations.

Charyn Canyon is often compared to North America’s Grand Canyon; while smaller, it matches its beauty. You’ll have the choice to hike down to the valley floor and back up, or to take in the spectacular views from the canyon rim above.

DRIVING DISTANCE: 430 km

MEALS: Breakfast

OVERNIGHT: Hotel Plaza or similar

Day 5: Almaty – City Tour

Almaty is a sunny, inviting city filled with greenery, featuring wide streets, beautiful architecture, and an abundance of parks, squares, and fountains. Nestled at the base of the emerald Tien Shan mountains, it’s no wonder Almaty is known as the “garden city.” In spring, when the southern edges of the city burst into bloom with apple, apricot, and cherry orchards, Almaty feels like a scene from a fairy tale. The city’s lush greenery and stunning mountain backdrop make it truly unique.

Almaty is home to numerous attractions that both delight locals and captivate visitors. We’ll start with a walk through Panfilov Park, where Zenkov Cathedral, one of the world’s nine unique wooden structures, stands proudly in the centre. The cathedral’s intricate wall paintings and decor impress with their beauty and grandeur. Next, we’ll visit the Museum of History, which houses a vast collection of exhibits showcasing Kazakhstan’s important role in history.

Day 6: Almaty ~ Dushanbe, Tajikistan

Transfer to the airport for your flight to Dushanbe on Air Astana KC131. Sightseeing activities will depend on your arrival time.

Dushanbe, originally a small settlement at a crossroads, earned its name from the bustling bazaar held there each Monday (in Tajik, “Dushanbe” means “Monday”). Today, it’s a modern capital with a thriving infrastructure, industry, and beautiful parks and gardens.

Our exploration of Dushanbe begins with a city tour of this vibrant capital, featuring wide, shaded avenues. We’ll visit the Museum of Archaeology to uncover the region’s rich history. The day concludes with a visit to Hisor Fort, a 19th-century Bukharian fortress. Once the residence of the Bukhara emir’s governor, the fortress features impressive baked-brick gates with two towers and a central arch that once guarded the metre-high walls. Despite the wear of time, the gates still evoke strength and resilience. Nearby, two historic madrassas have also been preserved.

This 40-metre-high monument was built in memory of Ismaili Saman-Khuda, founder of the Samanid dynasty in the 10th century. The base features a permanent exhibition on the Samanids and is paved with granite slabs, while the statue’s upper part is gilded.

Next, we’ll visit the Tajik flagpole, once the world’s tallest, standing at 165 metres. Recognised in the “Guinness Book of World Records” in August 2011, it marked the country’s 20th independence anniversary.

Our first stop is Kukeldash Madrasah, which still operates as a Quran school. Next, we’ll visit Khast Imam Square, home to the stunning Barak Khan Madrasah, Tillya Sheikh Mosque, and the Kaffal Shashi Mausoleum, known for its elegant brickwork.

Day 11: Tashkent ~ Samarkand

In the morning, we’ll take a train to Samarkand (08:00 – 10:00) or travel by road, depending on ticket availability. Samarkand, founded eight centuries before our era, is one of the world’s oldest cities. It once served as a vital hub connecting East and West along the Great Silk Road. As a result, the city is home to an extraordinary number of cultural and historical monuments, including mausoleums, museums, mosques, and ancient ruins.

Today, you’ll explore the legendary city of Samarkand, one of the Silk Road’s most significant sites. We’ll start at Registan Square, which was the heart of Samarkand for many centuries. Here, you’ll see three stunning madrasahs: the Ulug-Bek Madrasah from the 15th century, the Tilya-Kori Madrasah from the 17th century, and the Sher-Dor Madrasah, also from the 17th century.

We continue our journey to Khiva, travelling through the Kizilkum Desert (Red Sands)—a historic route once crossed by invaders, nomadic tribes, and the armies of Persians, Alexander the Great, and Genghis Khan.

Our destination, the ancient city of Khorezm, now known as Khiva, was a key stop along the Great Silk Road many centuries ago. Today, Khiva is often described as an open-air museum and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Nearly every building here is a historical gem, with around 60 preserved monuments in the old part of Ichan-Kala, including citadels, palaces, mosques, minarets, and mausoleums, capturing the essence of an ancient eastern city.

Archaeological findings suggest that Old Khiva, established as early as the 5th century, served as a vital Silk Road stop. The walled old city of Ichan-Kala spans around 30 hectares, enclosed by formidable 6-8 metre walls with ditches surrounding the perimeter once filled with water for protection. The fortress wall includes four grand gates, reinforced by guard towers and observation galleries, standing as timeless witnesses to Khiva’s rich history.

After crossing the border between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, we continue to Konya-Urgench, once the capital of the powerful Khorezmia, which ruled here until the Mongol invasion. This ancient town holds the ruins of Khorezm’s former capital, which was part of the Achaemenid Empire. Abandoned by its inhabitants 350 years ago in favour of a new settlement, Konya-Urgench has remained largely untouched. In 2005, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of Turkmenistan’s most significant archaeological sites, containing a wealth of well-preserved monuments dating from the 11th to the 16th centuries. These include mosques, caravanserai gates, fortresses, mausoleums, and minarets whose architectural influence reached Iran, Afghanistan, and the Mughal Empire in 16th-century India.

Our exploration will include the Kutlug Temir Minaret, the Tubarek Khanum Mausoleum, the Sultan Tekesh Mausoleum, the Fahriddin Mausoleum, and the 12th-century burial mosque, along with the impressive 15th-century Gutlug Temir Minaret.

We then continue to Darwaza, home to the famous “Gateway to Hell,” a unique natural gas crater that has been burning continuously since 1971. Located in the middle of the vast Karakum Desert, this 50 to 100-metre-wide crater was ignited to prevent toxic methane from escaping. The fiery pit is a spectacular sight, especially at sunset, and the smell of sulphur guides the way if the crater isn’t visible from afar. Here, we’ll enjoy a BBQ dinner, taking in the incredible views as the sun sets over this surreal landscape.

We’ll visit the Akhal-Teke horse farm, home to the oldest purebred horse breed, developed around 5,000 years ago by ancient civilizations of modern-day Turkmenistan. Known for their striking appearance, Akhal-Teke horses are well-adapted to hot climates and have influenced the development of many horse breeds worldwide.

Next, we’ll continue to Nisa, one of Turkmenistan’s most significant historical sites. This unique ancient monument, located near Ashgabat at the foot of the Kopet Dag Mountains, offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s storied past.
