Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Kyrgyzstan

Lying along the ancient Silk Road trade route between China and Europe, Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous, landlocked Central Asian country that can appeal to travelers interested in either history or outdoor adventures. The 3,000-year-old city of Osh, once a Silk Road landmark, boasts Central Asia’s largest bazaar, while the Tian Shan Mountains near China are popular for trekking and climbing.

GlobalJourneys Company Reviews by GlobalJourneys
Best Travel Agency By Far!!
We have used Global Journeys a few times since 2013 to book our tours, accommodation, and flights; each and every time the level of service has been marvellous. The team at Global Journeys are very knowledgeable, reliable and customer focused. Global Journeys offer very competitive pricing rates. In view of the welcome return to a new normal after a few years in the doldrums for the travel industry due to COVID-19 there is rightfully/thankfully a surge back to booking holidays and tours again. We would highly encourage folks looking to book holidays/tours to at least consider contacting Global Journeys (https://www.globaljourneys.com). They help take the hassle and stress out of planning for your memory making journeys. Life is short, travel as often as you can. Afterall, travel is one of the best forms of education and self-discovery!

Silk Road to Samarkand via Kashgar by World Expeditions
This was an absolutely amazing trip
We recently completed the Silk Road to Samarkand via Kashgar tour. This was an absolutely amazing trip with knowledgeable guides in all three countries. A special mention must go however to our China guide, Stoney. A truly wonderful human being. The guides (also Olga in Kyrygzstan) were a font of information. Everything was so well organised. Stunning landscape, abundant history and full on activities. Transport and accommodation outstanding as were the meals provided throughout the journey. This trip was well worth waiting for.

Truly wonderful in making the trip so memorable
Our Silk Road trip took in China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Each country has an unbelievably rich and vast history, sometimes going back thousands of years. Every day brought new knowledge, new sights, new places to visit (or climb - fitness levels increased a lot!), and our in-country guides in each country were truly wonderful in making the trip so memorable. Anyone thinking of travelling to these beautiful, sometimes desolate, sometimes ruggedly mountainous, sometimes lush fertile valleys, sometimes in extreme heat, sometimes with snow falling on you, seeing the most incredible ancient mosques, minarets, madrassas, mausoleums and markets (and that's just Uzbekistan) - get going!

The trip is fabulous
The trip is fabulous. We've seen so many different things, learnt so much about the history of the three countries we've visited Our in-country guides were just fantastic!!! Stony Xiao(?) in China is an exceedingly wonderful man - efficient in the extreme, kind, funny, helpful and of course knows his stuff - we all wanted to bundle him up and take him with us. Alex in Kyrgyzstan was also very efficient and knowledgeable (and has the most gorgeous smile!), and now Dilshod here in Uzbekistan has been fantastic. We kept saying after leaving China (with a 5-hour-plus land-border crossing into Kyrgyzstan, 6 checkpoints, even more passport checks!) - 'big shoes to fill' after Stony but Alex did a great job, and Dilshod has made Uzbekistan a wonderful leg to finish on - he was a teacher before taking up guiding 20 years ago. The history in this part of the world rivals that of anywhere, and is just as convoluted and fascinating as other ancient regions. If you haven't been to central Asia yet, don't wait too long!!

It was a great journey, a once in a lifetime experience. An extraordinary mixture of culture, history, treking, city-sightseeing and art, with local food and mostly wonderful accomodation. Means of transport were excellent too.
