Central Asia Birding offers all-inclusive, high quality bird watching and nature holidays in Central Asia. We organize fixed departure tours as well as private, customized tours for small groups. We can organise all tours of our travel programma for small groups, birdtour companies and even private tours are possible. All tours are lead by local experts and/or European top-ornithologists.

Central Asia offers a great variety of interesting habitats, such endless steppes, stony and sandy deserts, wetlands, rivers, alpine meadows, coniferous and deciduous forests, the rare Turanga forests and impressive mountain ranges.

Being located for the most part in the middle of the Palaearctic ecozone (Pielou 1979, Udvardy 1975) Central Asia is blessed with  species of both the western and eastern Palearctic region while in the east the roles are reversed and the majority of birds can be regarded as belonging to the east Palearctic region. Nonetheless the entire region has flavours of east Palaearctic species. The southern part of the region belongs to the Indomalaya ecozone bringing with it yet another range of species.

This exceptional location makes the avifauna of the countries in Central Asia very attractive for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts in general. The area holds several superb and rare west Palearctic birdspecies that either can be found nowhere else or are difficult elsewhere. Add to this some rare orchids and endemic butterflies, a wide range of tulips and mammals and one has a quite a unique and diverse region.

Ecotourism and protection of habitat is important to us and therefore we follow the guidelines as presribed  by the International Tourism Society. Secondly we work hand in hand with the ACBK, the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan.

In relation to the above we at Central Asia Birding will endeavour to give you our best possible service in order to ensure you have a truly wonderful and memorable experience whilst in our care.
