Family travel

Shorter drives, hands-on activities and stays children will remember.

Central Asia is welcoming to families. Children are made a fuss of everywhere, and there is plenty to do: camel rides and a night in a yurt at Aydarkul, pottery and cooking classes, the trains, the bazaars and swimming at Issyk-Kul.

Family trips keep travel days short, include rest time and choose hotels with space and pools where possible.
