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."
Sara Aidin
"We hired Open Asian for a short documentary project. Adilet's dual background is a massive asset—he understands what a film crew needs (power, light, timing) and has the permits and contacts to get us into restricted border zones. He saved us days of bureaucratic headaches. They are much more than just a travel agency; they are fixers who get results."
Angela Ross
"The route is challenging, but honest. It's not a walk in the park, but a real challenge due to the elevation changes. We loved that we had a support vehicle following us at all times, so we didn't have to carry all the luggage. Kyrgyzstan looks impressive from the saddle. If you're up for some incredible descents, I highly recommend it."
Nick Doe
"I went on this tour mainly to see the nomads' way of life, without the staged atmosphere. Adilet was a great help: thanks to his journalistic background, we were allowed into places where regular tourists aren't allowed. We actually lived in yurts, ate the same food as the locals, and spent a lot of time interacting with people in the regions. The program is packed, and the journeys can be long, but the views and stories are worth it."
