Over centuries the Silk Road created an unprecedented exchange of ideas and dissemination of cultures, ideologies and faiths along its route; it was a melting pot of religions, nations and cultures. The reigning diversity and tolerance were its most significant innovation, enabling the peaceful coexistence of different beliefs and religions. Let us introduce you to one of the most mythical and astonishing places on earth, Central Asia: lands of extremes and contrasts that for centuries remained a blank on the map. The Central Asian “stans” are back in the travel spotlight, and with their enormous swathe of territory and cultural heritage have much to offer.

Our classic Silk Road trip to Uzbekistan – to the heart of the Central Asia - will take you through the complex passages of history, exploring the very essence of the Silk Road’s cultural and spiritual legacy, unearthing its hidden treasures from beneath the layers of centuries.
