// CEO Statement

"We create journeys that change the way people see Central Asia — through its people, culture, and authentic experiences, while creating value for local communities."
Arlan Kharov
Arlan Kharov
Founder & CEO, Asia Expeditions

We make people happier through travel and open the world to the real Central Asia. For us, travel is not only about discovering new places and experiencing strong emotions — we want every journey to broaden the way people see the world, enrich them culturally and spiritually, and create a genuine connection with the people and places they visit.

We create journeys where guests do more than see the main sights. They meet local people, discover traditions, experience local lifestyles, taste regional cuisine, and connect with the culture in a meaningful way.

We want tourism to create real value for local communities by supporting families, guides, artisans, guesthouses, and local businesses.

Our Philosophy

The 5 Values of Asia Expeditions

Community Impact

Social Projects

Tourism that leaves a positive mark — on people, culture, and landscapes.

Local Guesthouse Support

We partner exclusively with family-run guesthouses and yurt camps across Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, ensuring that the majority of tour income stays within the local community rather than flowing to large hotel chains.

100+ local families supported annually

Local Guide Academy

Asia Expeditions trains and certifies young men and women from remote mountain villages as professional multilingual expedition guides — creating stable long-term incomes for communities beyond seasonal herding.

Free certification training provided

Leave No Trace Program

Every Asia Expeditions group receives an environmental briefing and operates under a strict pack-in/pack-out policy. We also organize annual trail-cleaning expeditions in partnership with local Kyrgyz environmental NGOs.

Zero waste policy on all routes
