The first thing you should know about travel in Central Asia is that most regions, including the cities and towns, are more relaxed in their attitude to Islam than their neighboring areas to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But, it must be remembered that it is technically an Muslim region and therefore an extra dose of caution must be taken in some areas. Long-sleeved shirts and shorts are suitable for men and women in cities, however should you visit any mosques with active worshippers, all visitors should wear pants that fall below the knee and tops that cover shoulders. A head scarf is also suggested for women. On this trip, we will be exploring remote regions that are not frequently frequented by tourists. The people of the area are modest when it comes to their clothes and therefore you’re likely to be more comfortable with your dress.
