Five Stans Info Hub

Welcome to your dedicated information hub for tours to the Five Stans.
From booking to boarding your flight—and everything in between—this is your go-to resource for a smooth and well-prepared experience across Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.

Travelling through Central Asia is an extraordinary experience, rich in culture, history, and natural beauty. While the region operates a little differently from what some travellers might be used to, that’s all part of its charm. With a few extra steps—like sorting visas, planning for limited connectivity, and understanding arrival procedures—you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy a smooth and unforgettable journey.
