There is something really special about CENTRAL ASIA, and I wanted to make a video sharing my love for this region because it's often overlooked.
The countries that make up Central Asia are Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and sometimes Afghanistan is included as well. Without question, you can find some of the most ancient history, most hospitable people and the cheapest prices on this planet!
Have you ever been to Central Asia? If not, then add this region to your bucket list because it's just about as good as it gets :)

I visited to Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan and Uzbekistan last year.
The people of these countries cherish both their culture and nature and they are exceptionally hospitable to tourists like other muslim countries.
This is my favorite point of central Asia.
Love from Japan.
Thanks for this video.All the '.Stans' have always fascinated me. I definitely want to visit some day!
I am from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 Thank you bro. You recognized beauty in our culture🙏
Hi, I'm from Turkmenistan. First I wanna say thank you Drew. And thanks also for your good words for central Asia, espiceally about Turkmenistan. I believe that you will come our country again. We will wait for you and we love you 🇹🇲🇺🇿🇹🇯🇰🇿🇰🇬
Videos from my Turkmenistan visit can be found on my youtube channel, you welcome to check it out
Is it true your country is like North Korea?
How much does your country sucks?
@@VaultYT. no
When ppl think of Muslims , they only imagine Saudi and Middle East.
Central Asia is so underrated ☺❤
Obviously because total population there is so less
Uttar Pradesh ( a state in india ) has more population than 180 countries on earth
Because Saudi Arabia has Mecca and kaiba and the prophet Mohammed Mosque
Iraq is innocent yet you don't call westerns terrorists for illegally invaded Iraq twice 1991 2003 and heavy sanctions
Pakistan had liberated these six muslim countries from slavery of the Soviet Union.
Lol I love the way you just ignore Indonesia.
The region is underrated mainly because it's landlocked.
He used to live in the Czech Republic
And not many people live here in Central Asia. This is part of the reason
Why
I think it's cause not many people
Know about it cause it's pretty new🕌
Not landlocked (capsian sea.)
Central Asia is becoming popular now, thanks to your videos. Kazakhstan is the only country I visited in Central and I fell in love with their beautiful nature and landscapes. The country is modern but they are very proud of their ancient nomadic roots. Outside the city, you can still see many yurts and shepherds with more than 100s horses, cattles and sheeps. It was so amazing. I still want to comeback when I get holidays from my work but maybe next time will include Kyrgyzstan too.
How did you get to there? From where? Plane tickets are around 2000$ here from the states! Yikes!
I loved this man,this video made us realise about central asia!
Thank you captain obvious!
Throw that shitty, primitive _Islam_ out of the world! Make place for spiritual Christianity!! Spread the anthroposophic literature everywhere in Central-Asia!!!
We as muslim faced alot of hates and bad comments but we still patient and not discriminated other religion or believes

I've been to Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan and have shook hands with Uzbek soldiers on the Friendship Bridge that crosses from Afghanistan to Uzbekistan. I also got to see the Blue Mosque a few times and the old military fort where Mike Spann was killed. Beautiful country up in the mountains but that's where it was more dangerous for us. Kyrgyzstan was absolutely beautiful and I would love to visit again for more than just transferring through Manas. I was over there 2010-2011 with the U.S. Army.
Much love from an Uzbek living in the US for my whole life. I’m 17 and I honestly haven’t gone back to Uzbekistan in a long time
*Welcome to the world of STAN!* 😍
Stan means state or country in some Indo-European languages - here it comes from Persian.
Stan = Place non of your kpop shit
We STAN
My personal worst country is BTSstan
Ye and where is Pakistan
I just got my DNA test results back and apparently I'm part central asian... I had no idea, it's so cool! And then Drew posts this video right afterwards?? Perfect timingggg
Cool!!
Your turkic then
Then we must be relatives😁
@Rico do not lie !
Chinese has nothing to do with central Asians!
Nice many people don’t know that central Asian people are Turkic
I'm from Tajikistan central Asia I love it my backround country the hospitality is amazing I love the people i went there in the summer i would love to go back because all my family lives there and I'm always so happy to go and meet them but it's a long flight from Canada
xodrus I’m from Afghanistan so our culture is very similar and I agree there is a very strong sense of hospitality
I have heard it has one of the most corrupt and strict dictatorships one the planet.
Some troll who has trolled you I’m not saying it’s a good country😑😑😑😑You can have a bad country but still good people
Sulaiman Gulzar
I agree it is very beautiful and has a great culture but so bad it is known for its dictatorship as well, I have heard that their president banned birthdays and beards.
Some troll who has trolled you Where’ve you heard that lmao banning birthdays and beards lmao. It’s encouraged to have a beard plus it’s not a dictatorship you’re probably thinking about Syria. But don’t get me wrong it’s a bad country but for different reasons.
I've been crazy to visit Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 and Turkmenistan 🇹🇲
I am from Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is extremely underrated, it's landscape is amazing.
@@funnnehdude The national languages are Uzbek and russian
I live kazakhstan... They speak russian and their own language...

Exactly. I think Central Asia is always being "forgotten". When Americans hear Asia they automatically start thinking about Korea, China, and/or Japan. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF MORE GREAT COUNTRIES such as Armenia, India, Mongolia, and other 45 countries. Factz
It’s not only Americans, everybody thinks of them.
@@user-iu4yn4tr1r at some point you are right
They first think of India when they hear asia
@@user-iu4yn4tr1r or, the westerners.
@@user-iu4yn4tr1r When you say everybody, please clarify that it does not include Asians cause we can identify ourselves actually based on regions.
I'm so glad you made this video. Loved Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan has incredible food and architecture and can't wait to go to Turkmenistan and Khiva this month.
Great video Drew. This makes me proud that I’m Tajik 🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯. Visit us more. By the way I also lived in Wisconsin for a year.
Your country is AMAZING! On Wisconsin!
Lol ppl use that emoji for Kurdistan

I've always wanted to go to Kyrgyzstan since I was little. Unfortunately I don't have any money. But I hope I can go there in the future

The way you talked about Afghanistan's pure culture, without so much as a hint of the political situation, almost made me cry with joy.
I'm from Uzbekistan and this made me so happy to see! The Stans deserve more love
Same! The stans DO deserve more! To be honest our plov is chefs kiss 🤌🏻
@@blueberrybear1298 sooo true omg lol
Thank you drew I’m from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 we love you
I've been to Kyrgyzstan twice while staying on a military base before I went out to Iraq and Afghanistan. A beautiful country and wonderful people during the short time I stay out there. The winters are brutal out there, though!!!!

So excited for my trip to Central Asia ! Flying to Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 tomorrow! ❤️❤️❤️
devin lorenz Have an amazing trip then, welcome to Uzbekistan
Thanks
Went to Uzbekistan a little over a year ago.
Food is great, Samarkand is a very cool place
It's also really a safe place.
dear come again🙂
I am eternally grateful to see such a beautiful message about my country.🇺🇿 Uzbekistan is an ancient country across the whole globe and is not well-known for 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇦🇺... the majority of these countries' individuals.However, it still remains to be a famous one with its astonishing buildings, rich culture and everything.I am telling for those of you who is looking at this" within 10 years Uzbekistan is going to have to change totally".
Scott, come again and enjoy ur life 🇺🇿
I like this guy, people flock to Paris and London and he's like eww. But give him Tashkent or Kabul and he goes yeeaahhh.😁
Tashkent is more beautiful than most European cities. In fact it's the 3rd largest and modernized city in all former Soviet republics including Russia
I know Türkçe, Qazaq Tili, Azərbaycan türkcəsi, Kırgızça, O'zbek, Türkmen, toçiki
Сәлем! Сен қай елденсин?
сәлем адам, түсініктеме бергеніңе рахмет
You're right! Central Asia is really underrated! My old karate teacher is from Uzbekistan, and he kinda made feel encouraged to look at it a bit more, as did a TV programme called Race around the World, where they travelled through central Asia.
I would particularly like to visit Khiva in Uzbekistan, as it has some beautiful buildings and isn't as well known as Samarkand or Tashkent. I would also like to visit the markets (I love all markets, especially cheap ones!). I would also like to see a snow leopard in Kyrgyzstan, and the massive dam in Tajikistan.
I hope it is still undiscovered when I go there too!
Welcome to Uzbekistan 💜💜💜💜 Our country is historical and amazing
Hi Drew, Im fabian from the Netherlands. Thanks so much for inspiring me to make video's around the world!

Central Asia its the most interesting for me just by the fact its the least known (or one of the least known). Already have a trip booked in June to go to Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
João Costa // Lone Wolf You are most welcome to Uzbekistan, I live in Fergana valley of Uzbekistan and I'm an English lover I'd be happy if I can help you travel around my Region 😊
@@azizaabubakirova8026 Thank you for your kindness but It won't be needed I have a friend there that will show me around the rural areas and the capital area... Who knows I light go to that region. I still don't know exactly were I'll go.

I’m from Uzbekistan in a city called Angren
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS I LOVE CENTRAL ASIA
wanna move to Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan someday
Thank you so much for making this. I live in America now, but I was born in Kazakhstan, and I have never seen anybody really mention Central Asia. It’s really a fascinating place, so thank you so much for doing this!!
One of most amazing countries of central Asia is Afganistan.
Afghanistan is the most undiscovered country in the world. It has amazing nature, amazing poeple and amazing historical places. I honestly tell you that it has very more historical places than other nations of Central Asia.
Afghanistan is in war now but if peace come then this country will become full of tourists.
You can talk to me and I can show you and explain for you about it.
@@nasrullahyusofi6228 Now talibs ruined everything in Afghanistan
Afghanistan literally can be included in every direction of Asia, that's why we have so many wars is Afghanistan.
Afghanistan actually is part of South Asia like Pakistan. Nobody wants you.
I have a few afghan friends, always considered Afghanistan as a part of South Asia.
@@torobay wot
@@ketastar that only applies to the Afghans with central Asian tribe ancestry, don’t generalize all of us.
@@xCestLaVie1 Not one thing is Afghanistan is south Asian. Afghans are Iranic by race and 30% is Turkic by race. Not one Indic like Pakistani or Indian or Bangladeshi. Afghans speak a different from south asians, are a completely different race from them, Have a completely different culture, Calling it south Asian is just ignorant and wrong.
I am from Colombia and right now I'm in Kazakhstan during an express visit to Central Asia (except to Turkmenistan and Afghanistan) , and I can relate that Drew is absolutely right. It is simply an amazing place with a lot of cultures and kind people.
I wish I could come back, specially in summer since all my central asian friends highlight that is the best time to appreciate its natural beauty.
hola bro, you are welcome
uh I love central asia, it's probably one of the most underrated regions in the world :D
actually wanna go visit it once
As a Muslim i always wondered why is this region is so underrated today Centre Asia is of a great importance in Islamic history, especially the cities of Samarkand and Bukhara in Uzbekistan but despite the importance of the Islamic events and well known religious figures originally from that region it's hardly that any Muslim knows where are these cities located today and probably many think these cities not exested anymore. I just hope this region get the proper attention it deserved
I'm from Poland and I'm just in love in this countries! I wish I could go there one day!
You can fly to kazakhstan with wizzair for 120€ both ways :) really worth it
there are straight flights from Warsaw to Astana, LOT
@@nowornever1377 Well, maybe I'll try that one sometime
Well, I'm not trying to break anyone's joy or something, but there is one huge note I want to make about Central Asia: be careful with the airlines. For example, all airlines from Kyrgyzstan have been blacklisted by the EU and the same applies for all airlines in Kazakhstan (except Air Astana).
I think I may leave you with some lists.

They are cool
I love how random your videos are!
Hey Drew couldn't agree more, just came back from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, what an amazing experience it was, it looked like you went to Kyrgyzstan during the summer, if you were to go again I would deffo recommend going in the winter it is so beautiful and there are barely any tourists
Hello Drew!! ,I'm from Uzbekistan and I'm so glad that you made this video, The best as usual 😊! Always Welcome to our country!!!
How is Uzbekistan?
Videos about my trip to Uzbekistan are on my channel, you welcome
Yea I always wanted to go Uzbekistan
Finally someone talks about Central Asia!
It’s definitely been a fascinating region for me the explore for the last 3 weeks ... great to have seen Samarkand before it gets overrun by mass tourism 😊
Bro , you should visit Almaty , really . There is a lot of things to do .
Thank you for showing Central Asia to the World !!!
I am from Uzbekistan, I so happy to listen such as amazing recommendations from you) Thank you a lot! Hot hugs bro!
I would love to go to Central Asia one day. The silk road is one of my favorite parts in eurasian history.
I think you should do a 10$ series video in Macedonia. It's a great cheap location. Love your videos, cheers from Skopje.
Thank you for posting this, Drew!! Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are on our this year's summer holiday! I love it that it has come from my favorite vlogger!
Central Asia is absolutely my favorite region in the world. Can't wait to travel there :)

Afghanistan is very beautiful country. Love 🇦🇫 ♥️
Totally agree! Central Asia is so amazing and very underrated. I can’t wait to get back there!
Such a very educational travel vlogs....so many to chose from and most interesting thing is the "not expensive countries" to visit and the people that are welcoming which is far more important.Thanks Drew❤️✈️👣
That’s pretty amazing you’ve visited all the stans of Central Asia. I’ve been to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The others require visas! I lived in Kazakhstan for five years in Atyrau. My wife Ardak is Kazakh. I hope to one day visit the other Stans! I Better start working on some visas!

As a German living in Kyrgyzstan right now, I can relate to 100% to this video. Central Asian countries are unbelievable in all varieties of culture and history and it is definitely worth to take time while visiting different places here!
Thank you, Drew for making video about Central Asia. Keep it up bro
Happy to see you in Central Asia. All people are amazing there. I’m proud that I was born in Tajikistan.
Cheers!
I went to all of Central Asia this summer (minus Afghanistan) and I completely agree with you! Definitely one of the most underrated regions of the world! I loved every place we went! I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about Kok Boru. I actually got to play that while I was there and it was so much fun! Great video 😁
I love central asia people 💞💞 omg. Buetiful people as well as their countries.
It’s a beautiful scenery
Love to travel all this country one day

One problem he had...the food is really good but quite salty in general..not sure if this is relatively true or just a personal thing..
Anyways, great video Drew!
Lots of love and respect for central asia from India 🇮🇳. ❤️. Always loved to think about going in Central Asia though I haven't went out of India. Lots of love for Drew Binsky also from the bottom of my heart. I am an East Indian.

Drew is ok guy, he different, he even talked about the small youtubers in one of his videos and that content of a small youtuber can sometimes be better than of the big ones out there.

Thank you Drew! Hello from Kyrgyzstan! We love your videos! see you again
Hello Drew:) I really appreciate all the work you do, thank you for sharing it with people!
BUT! Khan Shatyr in Astana (now Nur-Sultan) is actually a tent-shape shopping mall with the beach and stuff, and the picture of pyramid that you've put in the video is the Palace of Peace and Independence. I know, it's just small details that people won't even remember in the end. However, it would be nice if the information was reliable:) I have noticed that you didn't talk much about Kazakhstan in general, and that you added the story from there to the most scary ones. I hope you will give it another chance and come again, maybe to other cities around the country!
