How about a trip to The northern “Stans”
A Brief Summary
All former Russian Republics, the countries of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are now places slowly opening their borders to travellers. The first 3 on this list comprise mostly of large, open, remote landscapes, semi-desert or steppe in nature, and towns and cities many, many miles apart. The latter two are much more mountainous, being on the far northwestern edge of the Himalayas and represent a very different travelling challenge and experience. All 5 however are ideally visited in September while they’re still warm and sunny and the local transport isn’t hindered by heavy winter snow, or fierce summer heat.
