The expression “Silk Route,” however, began in the nineteenth century by a German traveler, inspires a sentimental time when caravans of camels, horses, and donkeys transported everything from gunpowder and jade to rhubarb and, obviously, silk amongst China and the Levant.
There is no single “silk route” however a system of roads associating the edge of Europe with the Pacific Ocean and the eastern edges of Asia, which worked for no less than fifteen centuries. Overland exchange, in the end, declined due to changes in geopolitics, the coming up of transportation and the Black Death.
A few routes travel current day battle regions; many go through areas that used to be covered behind the Iron Curtain – the alleged “Stan” nations – which are presently safe and moderately simple to visit.
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
With their markets, Bukhara, mosques, Khiva, madrasas and Samarkand – all in Uzbekistan – have for some time been the most glimmering urban communities for foreign guests to Central Asia. The Uzbek national hero Tamerlane and medieval Turko-Mongol pioneer is buried at a place called Samarkand, and his place of 
worship, with its sky blue arch and impeccable mosaics. It is one of a few noteworthy mausoleums that are on all itineraries, as do the remaining parts of the fifteenth century Ulugh Beg Observatory and the large Bibi-Khanym Mosque.
Bukhara is Central Asia’s holiest place, and the ancient city here is still particularly a living space. Khiva has been prettified. However, it’s bending back paths, and minaret looks ravishing at daybreak and sunset. Tashkent, a blend of pushing capital city, leafy Soviet suburb and drowsy Uzbek town, gives some contrast.
Kazakhstan
In spite of being the world’s ninth – biggest nation, Kazakhstan remains obscure to Western tourists. The quickly developing, ultra-modern capital, Astana, is less luring than the more modern previous capital, Almaty. However, the best motivation to visit is to arrange a homestay in the Aksu-Zhabagyly nature reserve. Magnificent guides, great biodiversity – including brilliant birds, ibex, argali sheep and around 1,300 types of blossoming plants – and very much marked trails make this available park well known for the months of April to September.
Kyrgyzstan
Audacious horseback riders have since quite a while ago supported this tough nation, mostly because no one but riders can truly get to the rich valleys and mountain passes.
Tajikistan
This little, developing nation is visited the least by in Central Asia. A large portion of the nation lies over 9,800 feet, and the Fann and Pamir mountain ranges are perfect for extraordinary climbing and camping. The Pamir Highway is a praised refresh of the first Silk Route.
