.Central Asia Captivates with Its Charms

A very good guide is absolutely indispensable for a region where the English language is relatively limited, This is the one part of the world where you cannot get by in speaking English, French or Spanish. One needs all the help one can get. Nobody is better than the LP people in giving one the edge to travel successfully in the Central Asian region. Get it!

Very informative guide to Central Asia

We used this travel guide to plan our 2-week trip to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. It was a great help to us with its comprehensive information, filled with recommendations and even covering history and customs of each country, as you would expect with all Lonely Planet guides. The only negative was that some places noted in the guide were (permanently) closed so hopefully these get updated in the 2024 edition.
