Russia and Central Asia by Road

by Hazel Barker

Published 1 November 1997
This is the first practical guide to traveling overland across Russia and Central Asia -- for many a dream trip that has, until now, been almost impossible to plan. The authors have completed this journey twice and have packed this guide with tips and advice -- including choosing the proper vehicle, getting to your starting point, bureaucracy and finance, and suggested routes. The practicalities of fuel, repair shops, health care, safety, and shopping for supplies are detailed, along with accommodations and restaurants along the way. Includes Russia, Mongolia, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.
