Located in the center of the Asian continent, the region of Central Asia is especially notable for the similarities in the names of the seven countries that call it home. Central Asia is home to the “stans” including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. While Afghanistan may not be highly sought after by tourists due to ongoing war in the nation, the other countries are truly stunning and highly sought after by tourists ready to see something beyond beaches and modern cities.
The region of Central Asia is rugged, beautiful and certainly not crowded. The people of these nations are primarily nomadic. This region includes everything from deserts to seascapes along the Caspian Sea. Travel across the steppe or marvel at the scenery of the arid mountains. Fertile valleys rich with Persian history and artifacts compete with the complex politics of the regions at times.
