The first thing you should know about travelling in Central Asia is that most regions, including towns and cities have a much more laid-back attitude to Islam than their neighboring areas to the south of Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it is important to be kept in mind that it’s technically a Muslim region and caution must be taken in certain places. T-shirts and shorts that are long can be worn by both genders in the city, but if visiting any active mosques people should wear trousers that do not go below the knee and tops that cover their shoulders. A headscarf is also advised for females. This trip takes us on remote places that are not typically visited by tourists. The locals are modest in their dress and thus you’re likely to feel more comfortable with your dress.
