Russia/Central Asia Travel
Russia/Central Asia Travel
Whether you are travelling through on the Mongol Rally or just here for the Georgian cuisine, Russia and Central Asia is a vast, diverse and unpredictable adventure. Come with an open mind, a patient nature and an alcohol tolerance level to get the most out of this fascinating region.
The Silk Routes of Central Asia have been replaced by energy-rich presidential whims, while the Caucasus region continues to boil with tribal disquiet. Moldova hosts a Stalinist state within a state, as Ukraine grapples with its East-West identity, all watched by Mother Russia, still the main influence. Away from the glitz of Moscow, the wilds of Siberia and the Russian heartlands are full of legends and folklore.
2011 marked 20 years of post-Soviet life and 25 years since Chernobyl.
