Central Asia Sept./Oct. 2015
 

Hey Travellers!

I want to go to Central Asia in September and Oktober 2015 and would be very happy not do go alone. I am 26, my name is Christoph, i am from Austria and have good travel experiences, specially in islamic countries.

My Plan is to go within 6Weeks: Teheran-Esfahan-Yazd-Ashgabat-Nukus-Bukhara-Smarakand-Tashkent-Dushanbe-Pamir Highway-Osh-Bishkek-Alamaty-Astana.

I would prefer to do the trip from Teheran-Tashkent and Osh-Astana by individually and the trip in between by a local company, planed in advanced. The trip is not fixed yet and if you are interested we can change it or you can also just join a smaller part of it. For the company trip i plan abaout 18days including high altitude hiking.

If you think it is quite a lot to do within 6weeks - yes! It is definitely more advanture than holiday. I am used to trips like this and it is my present for myself because i will finish university this summer.

Looking forward to ready from you!

cheers
Chris

Hi Chris, I too am planning on traveling Central Asia starting this August/September on motorbike (American, 23, male, volunteering for the last 8 months in Asia).

My ideal rout is a bit different from yours thought. I plan on avoiding Iran and Turkmenistan because they require guides to go through, as I'm sure you know. I'm planning on buying a bike either in Mongolia or Tajikistan and heading towards Europe through Turkey after exploring the Pamirs a bit.

I'm looking for a partner and I realize that our plans are different but our goal of exploring Central Asia is the same. Are you planning on buying a bike in Iran? Let me know if you would be interested in adjusting plans.
