Stunning Stans
Golden Eagle Luxury Train – Republics of the Silk Road
Escorted by Jacquey Turner
September/October 2026
About this trip
Embarking on the Golden Eagle, we travel the captivating ‘Five Stans’, a mosaic of countries intricately linked by a common history of Soviet influence yet distinctly independent in character.
Explore the grand mosques and vibrant bazaars of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, then venture into the serene landscapes of Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, adorned with lush expanses and tranquil beauty.
Tour Leader, Jacquey Turner: “Later in 2026, I am planning to venture to Central Asia to travel along the Silk Road by luxury train on board the Golden Eagle. We will travel through the magnificent “Five Stans” – a fascinating patchwork of countries with shared history of ‘Sovietisation’, yet fiercely independent in identity.
From the magnificent mosques and bustling bazaars of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to the breathtaking expanse and landscapes of Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, this will be an incredible adventure.
We are still finalising the details but we would love to hear from you if you are interested in receiving further information as it becomes available.”
