My Uzbekistan & Kyrgyzstan blog is online!

I’m pleased to announce that my blog from this year’s trip to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan is finally online. As I’ve mentioned a few times before I wrote my blog in note format when I travel, in order to maximise the time in which I’m able to get under the skin of a destination, before typing it up properly and sorting through photos when I get home.

As I’m sure you can imagine this takes longer than if I was to post from the road, or to write in full on the road then type up when I get home, but it works better for me. Normally I’m able to type up my blog within a few weeks, or at most a couple of months, of returning but this time due to various personal reasons it has been 4 months since I returned from my trip.

It’s now too late for anybody to travel to that part of the world this year, as it’ll soon be winter and the area will be blanketed with snow, but hopefully somebody will find this blog useful when trying to decide whether or not they should visit the area in the future.

I have just one word to say in response to people wondering whether they should visit Central Asia – YES!. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The people, the scenery, the fresh air, the culture, the memories are all so amazing. Kyrgyzstan isn’t a place for people who don’t like nature and want to look at sights or get involved with activities, although it does have a couple of ski resorts. Uzbekistan on the other hand isn’t quite so magnificent but has a large number of sights that you could visit. My trip focused on Kyrgyzstan but the entire region is worth a visit.

Here are some photos of highlights of the trip. For many more photos, and full information about the trip, please read my blog entries.

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about the trip, the area, the culture, the public transport I somehow survived or indeed anything else related to this and other trips featured on the blog. Just click the “Contact Scott” link in the menu and send me a message. I’m always happy to answer questions or just hear from people who have found the blog useful.

For the benefit of search engines and rankings, since this blog was posted late and in one go, some of the places and sights that we saw were:

  • Uzbekistan
  • Tashkent
  • Kyrgyzstan
  • Silk Route
  • Osh
  • Song-Kul Lake
  • Kockhor
  • Home Stay
  • Yurt Camp
  • Karakol
  • Jeti-Oguz
  • Lake Issyk-Kul
  • Bishkek
  • Fergana Valley
  • Mountains and Lakes
  • Turkey
  • Istanbul
  • Dragoman
  • Central Asia
  • Overland Truck

I hate having to do that list in these posts, but due to the nature of how my blog is posted I have to. However so that I don’t finish the post with a boring list here is a photo of some lovely scenery in Kyrgyzstan.

Fairy Tales do come true :)
