A snapshot of our Trip around the globe through 2024. In this video Layne and visit the “Stans”: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
The video starts with a brief preview of the entire trip, and then continues in chronological order:
- Visiting Turkistan via tour bus
- Getting my bike out of the airport
- Start riding 2 up, the epic Assy Plateau
- Visit the picturesque lakes Kolsai and Kaindy
- Go to Altyn Emil and the Singing Dune
- Cross into Kyrgyzstan
- Ride 2up to Lake Issykul
- Climb on our bike to SongKul
In a hired Landcruiser we
- Ride to and hike Lenin Peak
- Cross into Tajikistan
- Drive the ultra remote and pretty Pamir Highway
- Nearly touch Afghanistan in the Wakhan Valley
- Visit Dushanbe
For me to then continue solo by motorcycle with Layne by public transport across Uzbekistan and for us to do day-trips on the bike in:
- Samarkand
- Bukhara
- Khiva
- Moinaq at the Aral Sea
All to finish off with a dash through the desert towards Aktau in Kazakhstan.
I released this video series on Vimeo as it didn’t quite fit my YouTube Channel. I’ll certainly try to eventually release a proper video about this trip on YT.
