For the adventurous, the list of worthwhile destinations is long. Usually near the top of that list, is the Five Stans - Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

Our Five Stans tours are often thought of as one of our most exotic explorations, each Stan (Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan) holds a unique history and culture that has been shaped over the centuries and influenced by many empires.
At the Spiritual Mosque of Turkmenbashi, there was incredible attention to detail by craftsmen in creating this door and doorknob.
