About Central Asia: An Overview

Extending from the Caspian Sea in the west to the border of central China in the east, southern Russia in the north to northern India in the south, Central Asia comprises of the central region of Asia. Occasionally it’s known as Middle Asia or Inner Asia, and is within the scope of the wider Eurasian continent.

Often it’s stated that Central Asia is historically close to its nomadic peoples and The Silk Road. Consequently, it has acted as a junction for the movement of people, goods and ideas between Europe, West Asia, South Asia, and East Asia.

Before and early Islamic times, Central Asia was primarily Iranian region that included sedentary Sogdians, Chorasmians and semi-nomadic Scythians, Alans, Tajiks, Pashtuns, Pamiris and other Iranian groups are still present in the region. In present perspective, the region consists of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

Characterized by continental climate, extreme dryness and lesser atmospheric precipitation, exist the desert areas and steppes of Central Asia. Their remoteness from oceans and high summer temperatures created prolonged droughts; hence the vast desert regions are formed.

Central Asia Countries:

Uzbekistan is the pivotal attraction located at the very heart of Central Asia, the country of historical and cultural tourism. Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva and Shakhrisabz that contains the country, contain most beautiful masterpieces of Central Asia.

Kazakhstan is the largest and economically developed country in Central Asia. Interestingly, modern Kazakhstan is the result of interaction of Russian and Islamic influence, oriental mentality and modern trends of globalization.

Kyrgyzstan is full of picturesque natural places. Over three-quarter is occupied by mountains, green plains, gorges and caves. Formed for centuries, Kyrgyzstan is still strong with its national traditions and nomadic customs.

The only Iranian-speaking state in Central Asia, modern Tajikistan has been formed under the influence of ancient customs of the Persians, Islam, neighboring Uzbekistan and Soviet Russia as well.

A special pride of the Turkmen is the country’s capital - Ashgabat, with unique architecture, sparkling day and night in the middle of desert as a symbol of Modern Turkmenistan.

History of Central Asia

Each country in Central Asia has maintained a strong national identity, bearing its own historical significance on the continued development of the region. Central Asia as a region was introduced by Prussian geographer, Alexander von Humboldt, in 1843. Due to geographical connections and cultural interrelations, his definition included Afghanistan and Western China. But the conflict throughout the 1800s between England and Tsarist Russia over control of the region, called The Great Game, resulted in the 1895 division of the territory of the Pamir mountain area.

The definition used by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is much broader than the political boundaries of the five post-Soviet Central Asian states. In June 22, 2014, thirty-three Silk Road sites from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China were inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Central Asia Climate and Weather

Central Asia is home to multiple types of climates. Ranging from vast plains to rugged mountains influence its weather patterns. Mountains block moisture-laden winds, hence dry climate. The southern third of Kazakhstan, western two-thirds of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and both the eastern and western thirds of Kyrgyzstan fall into the mid-latitude desert climate classification. Annual temperatures average below 64 degrees Fahrenheit and the mercury drops below freezing in winter.

The middle third of Kazakhstan, the western third of Turkmenistan and most of the western third of Uzbekistan are considered a steppe climate. Central and northern Kazakhstan, eastern Uzbekistan, central Kyrgyzstan and nearly all of Tajikistan has the humid continental climate. This area receives more precipitation than the rest of central Asia. Summer temperatures can be humid in the southern belt of this climate zone, but tend to remain cooler farther north with bitter winds and abundant snowfall. Of late disappearing glaciers to extreme weather events, climate change has many faces in Central Asia.

Central Asia Culture and Tradition

Over thousands of years of history, representing a wide mix of ethnicities and traditions, the countries of Central Asia have emerged from Soviet rule as autonomous nations.

Beyond the ancient archaeological treasures, there are gems of medieval Islamic architecture and wealth of UNESCO World Heritage sites, modern cities put together with traditional nomadic villages, camps and landscapes. The regions’ mountain ranges, mountain lakes and steppe and desert are home to snow leopards and nomadic herdsmen. Enhanced with traditional artefacts, music, dance, costume and handicrafts, silks, carpets, embroidery and jewellery, there exists a vivid understanding of the history, geography, language, culture and traditions of this centre of civilization.

Central Asia Food and Cuisine

Central Asia has a variety of spices, but its food and cuisine are not spicy, usually mild and uses fresh produce. A meal without bread is considered incomplete in the region. A variety of bread is found, but the most common and popular one is a round shaped flat white bread. Many local salads, soups, and meals include a portion of additional herbs. Other herbs like basil, oregano, and rosemary are used less often in Central Asia. In Central Asia’s major bazaars a variety of Korean salads are found. Soups are very popular, even on the hottest of summer days. They are very popular in mountainous regions of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. There are around 200 varieties of plov. Besh Barmak is the national dish of Kyrgyzstan but can be found also in neighbouring countries. Shashlyk is a very popular meal in a region stretching from Central Asia to Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. Fast food is widespread in Central Asia. It’s popular as tea-drinking and meat-eating destination. Kyrgyz and Kazakh people drink fermented horse milk.

Tian Shan Mountains, Kyrgyzstan: A chunk of Switzerland magically transplanted into Central Asia, the Tian Shan are the de facto base camp for Central Asia’s inspiring trekking sight.

Almaty, Kazakhstan: Central Asia’s most interesting city, Almaty is a leafy and cosmopolitan blend of Russian and Kazakh influences.

Merv, Turkmenistan: The ‘Queen of the World’ once ranked as one of the world’s largest cities TashRabat, Kyrgyzstan.

Lake Song-Köl, Kyrgyzstan: Kyrgyzstan is all about yurts, horses and summer pastures, which makes it the perfect place to realize latent Genghis Khan Fantasies.

Yasaui Mausoleum, Turkistan, Kazakhstan: Kazakhstan’s most impressive architectural legacy and a major Central Asian Sufism centre as well.
