Follow in the footsteps of ancient traders, uncovering the cultural and natural treasures of Central Asia

For centuries, merchant caravans voyaged through deserts, across steppes and over mountains, creating trade routes between the Mediterranean and Asia. Art and religion spread east and west, while monumental architecture sprouted alongside nomadic eagle hunter communities. Now uncover the best of the Silk Road for yourself: the minarets and domes of Uzbekistan, the beautiful Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and traditional culture throughout, including a night in a Kyrgyz yurt.

Sustainability and Impact

As a certified B Corp, we’re on a mission to improve our social and environmental impact across all our adventures.

We do this through our innovative Thriving Nature, Thriving People plan.

This ‘nature positive’ approach is designed to help nature and communities thrive in harmony through practical solutions, such as reducing carbon and waste on our trips, supporting conservation projects through the Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation, and rewilding 100 square metres for every Exodus traveller.

You’ll also find Thriving Nature, Thriving People moments across our trips. These experiences are often a highlight of your adventure, while also benefiting the natural world or local communities.

On this trip, we:

  • Have the chance to meet eagle hunters in Bokonbaev village to observe and learn about their traditional form of falconry, which plays a key role in the local nomadic lifestyle
  • Join a Dunhan or Uygur family in their Karakol​ home for an authentic meal and chance to learn firsthand about their cultures and customs
