I’m on my way to Central Asia

Central Asia is an area that I’ve wanted to visit for a while, so I’m glad to finally be on my way. When I travel I like to visit new places, maybe places that have a unique culture, but definitely places that I believe I’ll discover things and experience something […]

Journey to Tashkent

I have finally made it to Tashkent in Uzbekistan and I’m absolutely exhausted, but I have seen and done loads since leaving London. My flight from London to Istanbul was pretty uneventful. I didn’t get much sleep, and Turkish Airlines have very little leg room, but they have a good […]

A day in Tashkent

I have another night on my own tonight as my room mate still isn’t here due to flight delays but I can’t complain as it gives me a chance to have a good nights sleep before the start of our overland trip tomorrow. Although I wonder what state he’ll be […]

The start of the trip

So much for the good nights sleep I was looking forward to last night as at around 3.30 this morning I was woken up by my room mate finally arriving almost 24 hours late. Although I needed the sleep I can’t really complain as he has had a rough time […]

Into Kyrgyzstan

Today we made our way across the border and into Kyrgyzstan, the country I have been looking forward to ever since seeing that photo. It is a shame that we didn’t see more of Uzbekistan as there is so much to see but it Dragoman do offer a segment of […]

Walking in Arslanbob

The scenery is beautiful in this country, in fact it’s one of the main reasons I decided to pick this trip, so even though I’m not much of a trekker I decided to join the group for a trek in the mountains to see the scenery. After breakfast in the […]

Camping in Kyrgyzstan

Real coffee and another home stay

Unfortunately I didn’t get much sleep last night. The ground was so hard, my tent mate snored loudly, and he also woke up early in order to prepare breakfast but this gave me a chance to do a bit of walking and take some photos before everybody else got up. […]

Arriving at Song-Kul Lake

What a place Song-Kul Lake is. After seeing it for myself I’m not sure that this is the lake in the photo which inspired me to visit Kyrgyzstan but it’s the place I was looking forward to the most. So remote, so beautiful and with the freshest air I have […]
