The first thing to say about traveling in Central Asia is that most regions, especially the towns and cities, are much more relaxed attitude to Islam than their neighboring areas to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it is important to be kept in mind that it’s technically a Muslim region and caution must be taken at certain locations. Long-sleeved shirts and shorts can be worn by both genders in the cities, but if visiting any active mosques everybody should wear trousers that do not go below the knee and tops that cover shoulders. A head scarf is also advised for women. This trip takes us on remote locations that aren’t often frequented by tourists. The locals are conservative in their dressing and therefore you’re likely to feel more at ease in a conservative dress code too.
