This is the first practical guide to traveling overland across Russia and Central Asia -- for many a dream trip that has, until now, been almost impossible to plan. The authors have completed this journey twice and have packed this guide with tips and advice -- including choosing the proper vehicle, getting to your starting point, bureaucracy and finance, and suggested routes. The practicalities of fuel, repair shops, health care, safety, and shopping for supplies are detailed, along with accommodations and restaurants along the way. Includes Russia, Mongolia, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
To travel overland across Russia and Central Asia is the dream of many; to plan a trip from the hitherto sparse sources of information has been a nightmare. This excellent guide sets out to give the essential practical details that can turn the dream into reality, avoiding the pitfalls created by lack of planning and leaving the traveler free to savor the wonders of this immense region with its huge diversity of landscape and people. Coverage ranges from preparation, including choice of vehicle, getting to your starting point, bureaucracy and finance, to planning the trip and suggest routes. Background information about history, health, safety, shopping and language supports important information for the driver, including fuel, workshops and vehicle agencies, spares and security parking. With suggestions about accommodations, eating out (and in), and shopping, this guide is a must.
