Adventure Travel

A little less dangerous than Extreme Travel (see entry), there can still be interesting adventure travel. One such is a tour of the "stans" — those countries in central Asia with "stan" in their names: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. G Adventures have a 26 day tour beginning in Bishkek and ending in Ashgabat. Tourhub have a 21 day and a 23 day tour (not sure what the difference is). (I assume you would need to get visas for entry to each country ahead of time.)

Wheel & Anchor is a Canadian tour company that has a 20-day tour of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. Tours run from April through October.

Adventure Bound are a European company who have a 16 day 5 Stans tour. Price is €3,060 with a €590 single supplement.

Also check out Minzifa Travel found on Facebook ad. They do a 5 Stans tour beginning in Almaty and ending in Tashkent.
