Big group trek
For a class, a club, a caucus or a whole program. You bring the group and choose the dates. We plan and run everything on the ground as one full package.



Who it is for
Student clubs and caucuses
Regional, policy, energy, finance or business clubs that want a week of real exposure to Central Asia.
A cohort or class
A program year traveling together during a school break, like our Harvard and MIT groups in 2025 and 2026.
Friends across programs
Ten or more graduate students from different programs or schools who want their own private trip.
What your group gets
- A private itinerary on your dates
- Hotels, meals, fast trains, transfers and licensed guides
- Company, university and cultural visits matched to your field (subject to approval)
- An Uzbek graduate student host with your group all week (subject to confirmation and availability)
- A dinner with your school’s alumni in Uzbekistan, where we can arrange one (subject to availability)
- An organizer kit: info-session slides, a flyer and a registration page

Big group questions
What if fewer than 10 people sign up?
We can still run your trip as a private small-group trip, or your travelers can join one of our planned departures.
Can we travel outside spring break?
Yes. Most groups travel during a school break, but we can run your trek in any month.
Can our group meet government officials?
The standard program focuses on companies, universities and/or culture (subject to approval). Formal government meetings are not part of it.
Can we change the route?
Yes. Add days, add Khiva or the Fergana Valley, or spend a night at a desert yurt camp. Your quote changes accordingly.
Who collects the money?
Each participant pays the operator directly through our registration page. Organizers never handle payments.
Is the trip affiliated with our university?
No. Your group organizes itself and travels independently. Please do not present the trip as an official university program.
