Discover Central Asia

The Nomad University offered me not only to observe but actually experience life authentically as a nomad. Great adventures, breathtaking nature, welcoming hospitality and the detailed organization by Kalpak Travel made this trip an unforgettable experience that I recommend to everyone who wants to learn more about this amazing country.

I spent 8 days in the wilderness, far away from civilization. The missing signal was bothering in the beginning but felt comfortable and relaxing in time. Riding on the horseback up the mountain in an amazing landscape felt really like freedom. I made completely new experiences, which I probably never would have made in another place and I still think about the great time I spent.

We liked Uzbekistan very much in spite of the heat during the summertime. The Uzbek people are very welcoming and hospitable so you don't have to be surprised if you get invited for a tea to a familiy's home.

After visiting the silk road cities in Uzbekistan it was a welcome change to go to Tajikistan. We did the Pamir Highway from Osh (Kirgistan) to Dushanbe (Tajikistan). The scenery is just amazing and so different from everything we've seen before.
