I am a journalist, documentary filmmaker, and certified mountain guide. This unique background allows me to offer a perspective on Central Asia that goes far beyond standard tourism.
Adilet Bektursunov, Founder

For over a decade, I hosted the RFE/RL documentary series Asia 360, exploring Central Asia's remote trails, politics, and traditions.

My background as a journalist and mountain guide allows me to understand the region's inner workings rather than just visiting its locations.

Real impressions
of the routes

Lukas Tissen

"I needed logistical help studying Soviet architecture in remote areas. The Open Asian team put together an itinerary in just a couple of weeks, found guides, and arranged all the border zone passes. Everything went smoothly. This service is for those who need more than just a standard list of attractions."
