Find Central Asia Tours

We have renewed our website.

I am Nagaoka, a staff member of Central Asia Specialized Travel Agency.

We have been operating as Kyrgyzstan Tours, but due to the expansion of our company, we are now able to offer tours throughout Central Asia, so we have renewed our company as a local travel agency specializing in Central Asia.

We are managed by members who have conducted tours in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan for many years, so we are confident that we can organize tours of higher quality.

Our Japanese staff members have been operating horseback riding tours in Mongolia for more than 10 years, so they can use their experience to provide the most enjoyable horseback riding tours in Central Asia.

In addition, we will operate the company with the important point that local staff will be compensated appropriately even if we deliver tours at a fair price by reducing administrative costs through systemization in the future.

We believe that the best experience for our clients is when the local staff truly enjoys conducting the tours.

We look forward to continuing to produce the best horseback riding and sightseeing tours.

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.
