Between celestial mountains, infinite steppes and thousand-year-old cities, Central Asia remains one of the last great continental spaces to offer a travel experience that is raw, rich and still largely unknown. Here, borders are more than just lines on a map: they tell the story of crossed heritages, complex identities, ruptures and bridges. For several years now, Sarbon Tours, an agency based in Uzbekistan, accompanies travellers on tours combining several countries in the region. These itineraries are conceived as moving stories, between Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and sometimes as far as Turkmenistan.
The anchor point for most itineraries, Uzbekistan is the most accessible gateway to Central Asia. With its museum cities of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, the country bears the most tangible traces of the Silk Road.
Tours often start in Tashkent or Samarkand, before moving on to other territories. This is where Sarbon Tours plays a key role in ensuring logistical and human transitions between countries, working with reliable local partners.
Crossing the border into the south-east, the journey continues to TajikistanThis is a mountainous country with pastoral traditions that are still very much alive.
The stages often include the Fann valley, the Ismaili villages, or the legendary route du Pamir - the backbone of the country, winding its way between the highest peaks in Central Asia. Here, encounters are rarer and accommodation more rustic, but the human richness is immediate.
Sarbon Tours adapts its tours according to season and profile: some itineraries include nights at local people's homes, accessible hikes, and stops at ruined fortresses or forgotten sanctuaries.
To the east, the plains of Kyrgyzstan open up like a world apart. Few cities, many skies.
The routes designed by Sarbon Tours often linger around the Lake Issyk-KoulThere is also the Suusamyr valley and the Song-Kul pass, where travellers can spend the night in a yurt. Kyrgyzstan is more about living than visiting. Here, the journey counts as much as the destination.
Multi-country tours offer a break in the pace: after the Uzbek mosaics and narrow streets of Khiva, there are free-roaming horses, highland herds and big tables around a dish of beshbarmak.
Access to the Turkmenistan remains more complex, not least because of visa requirements. But some long-format tours include this unique country, with stops in Ashgabatthe futuristic capital, or on the site of the Darvaza craternicknamed "the gates of hell".
Sarbon Tours works with locally-approved guides to ensure a smooth, safe and supervised passage. The contrast with neighbouring countries is striking: here, history is intertwined with a permanent display of power. It's a stage apart, often disconcerting, but always memorable.
Travelling through these countries is like crossing several worlds in one journey. Each territory has its own language, traditions and divisions, but also invisible bridges: shared hospitality, Sufi heritages, landscapes linked by altitude and wind.
Combined tours of Sarbon Tours do not aim to be exhaustive, but to be coherent. They favour overland journeys (train, car, sometimes on foot), long stages rather than frenetic sequences, and a reading of these areas on a human scale. Central Asia is not something you can just hand over. You have to tame it. It takes time, openness and sometimes a little letting go. But those who venture there will find it more than just a journey: it will be a voyage.
