What this trip includes
Trips are on full board basis, and include transport as outlined in itinerary, twin-share accommodation, mineral water and entrance fees.Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.

The wonderful thing about this kind of interactive tourism is that everyone gains – the nomads financially and us with the wonderful welcome and experience they give us. On our horse treks, we work exclusively with the fine horse-man Anar Bek, who along with his family and members of the local community, ensure that the horses we trek with are well treated, well fed and well looked after. Wherever possible we stay in locally owned accommodation, eat in locally owned establishments and purchase supplies from the local nomads.
We also support several NGOs around the world, all carefully selected to improve the standard of living for the communities we visit.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Road journeys. And bus that had plenty of space to sit alone.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Read the pre departure information. Don’t take a bag you can’t handle easily up flights of stairs without help. Don’t chose this trip if you are going to demand to sit at the front because you get car sick. If you get car sick this is not the trip for you. If you are the sort of person who gets irritated by lots of check points and and bag searching this is not for you. I loved the trip but then I had a 14 kilo back pack, two hands free and a sense of humour.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It benefited local homestay and yurt owners. And local drivers and guides.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I chose it as high on journeys and landscape but low on city tours which I dislike. It delivered.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Traveling the mountains of Tajikistan and the homestay there.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Enjoy. Do not bring so many things: it is not so cold, you do not need a slipping bag nor the sheet, nor gloves. All the stays, even yurts, are warm. 8Bring comfortable shoes for walking and a pair of slippers.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Very good.
