Central Asia & Russia

“For decades – centuries even – much of the world has regarded Central Asia as little more than a blank on the map, synonymous with the middle of nowhere, rather than the heartland of Asia. For a certain type of traveller, this is all part of the attraction of a land that has been largely off-limits to travellers for the last 2000 years. Head even a little bit off the beaten track and you’ll likely have the place to yourself. Authentic cultural interactions can be found across Central Asia.” – Bradley Mayhew
