[Important Notice] Central Asia Scenic Tour Prices Will Change from January 2026 | Book by the End of December to Travel at a Great Rate

Salam! This is Sugi from ASHU TRAVEL, your guide to scenic trips in Central Asia.
Today, we have an important announcement.

After December, we will be revising the prices of the tours ASHU has been offering.

This is a choice we’ve made to keep paying fair wages to our local guides, drivers and support staff—the people we’re so proud of.

With prices continuing to rise across Central Asia, increases in labor costs in particular are unavoidable.
However, we didn’t want “keeping prices low” to become our goal.

What ASHU aims for is to create tours that offer guests “safe and enriching journeys” while also supporting the livelihoods and pride of the local people involved.

We don’t want to be just a travel company—we want to be “a bridge connecting travelers with the people of Central Asia.” That’s ASHU’s belief.

To our guests: bookings made by the end of December 2025 will stay at “current prices”

Our tour prices will be revised in stages from January 2026.
However, all tours booked by the end of December will be offered at current prices.

  • This winter’s tours in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan
  • Customized tours in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan
  • Horse riding trips through Central Asia’s nature next summer

This also applies to shared tours, so if you sign up next year or later for a tour that has already been confirmed, the new price will apply.

For anyone who has been “thinking of going someday,” this is a chance to travel at a great rate! Be sure to take advantage of it.

To everyone looking forward to traveling with us, and to all the people who support us on the ground:
ASHU will continue to deliver journeys in a new way, while always acting with sincerity.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

About Us

We are a local travel company based in Kyrgyzstan,
sharing the spectacular Tian Shan mountains and the charm of nomadic culture.
Our founder, Nuriya, is a Kyrgyz guide fluent in Japanese
who once worked at the Embassy of Japan.
Blending Japanese attention to detail with warm
Central Asian hospitality,
we can also arrange trips that cross borders.

Our base is Ashu Guesthouse,
located inside a national park.
With a sauna and a pool, it is a comfortable place
for a retreat that restores body and mind
in the heart of nature.
What matters most to us
is sustainable travel.

By keeping groups small to protect nature, and by paying local guides
and nomads fairly,
we want travel to bring new energy to the region.
Through safe, meaningful experiences,
both our guests and our hosts come away uplifted.
Why not come and discover something “beyond sightseeing”
with us?

Why Travelers
Choose ASHU TRAVEL

  • Japanese- or English-speaking guides

    No language worries, and a real understanding of the culture and background. Not just “seeing” Central Asia, but enjoying it because you understand it.

  • A pro who has guided 3,000+ travelers

    Founded by a guide with many years in the field. Every trip is planned with safety, routes and pacing in mind so it never feels rushed.

  • Shared tours: join solo and save

    Solo travelers are welcome. When other travelers book the same tour on the same dates, you share it and the per-person price drops with the number of participants. The final price is fixed about three weeks before departure.

  • Based at a trusted guesthouse with 20+ years of history

    Our base is Ashu Guesthouse, a long-established guesthouse inside a national park. With private rooms, showers, heating, a sauna and a pool, you stay comfortable even in the wild.

  • Sustainable travel built as equal partners

    Our trips are made together with guides, nomads, their families and the community. As a locally run company, we pay fair wages, so the livelihoods and skills of everyone involved are protected.
