Central Asia - Landscapes

The Silk Road! In 2019, we made a 4,500 km overland trip through Central Asia (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan & Kazakhstan), before flying to Nur Sultan - see map. It was an incredible trip, with amazing history, architecture (see separate album) and landscapes. Here's some landscape photos, taken mainly in the Tian Shan mountains in Tajikistan & Kyrgyzstan.
