Before I visited the 5 stans, I did not know what to expect. Well, what you get is everything travelers are looking for: sceneries, history, culture, nice cities (some bizarre but OK), good meals, nice proud people and the impression of visiting countries not yet too visited. The trip was organized by Kalpak travel and from beginning to end was managed very professionally without a glitch: Luca always responds very quickly to your questions and our tour leader Tatiana ensure the trip runs smoothly and professional / specialized guide in each countries. Don’t hesitate to visit the 5 stans now as I can see that in a few years, tourists will be flocking to this safe region of the world. Highly recommend Kalpak.
