From one environmental disaster to another, this is a tour that highlights two of the most devastating man-made environmental disasters that the world has seen – the ever-receding Aral Sea, and the nuclear test site at Semeypalatinsk. Not only will you learn heaps about these tragedies though, there’s also loads of other cool stuff in these two countries. There are some must-sees that any tour of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan will include, like the Registan and Almaty, but we put our SAIGA spin on things too by including some formerly closed Soviet mining towns and a solar furnace, and even our tours of Almaty and Tashkent are a bit different from most.
