Hello: Did anybody else received the faomous email "Overstay Penalty". I got a 45 days visa and only was 7 days in the country but, anyway they sent me the email. I spoke with my Consulate and told me that I shouldn´t care but, anyway, I would really appreciate getting a writting answer on this. Did...

Well! I think he is free to plan as much as possible if he wants to know everything in advance. By the way, I would really suggest to plan the main topics (visa, air transport, some land transport in difficult places and money getting) and let the other things to come as long as you travel.

I am doing the road from Dushanbe to Osh, all the way near the Afghan border and would like...

Thank you for your messages Lovtheworld and jfdesfosses!! Actually, I would be travelling from Moscow, so almost no jet lag (or not much). Budget is not a problem, although would not like to spend more than 100 - 150 USD per day. Wish I could have as long as three or four weeks... but for me that´s ...

Thank you very much for your answer. That´s what I thought. By the way, congratulations on your blog. It´s actually really useful and interesting. I really liked the idea of the trips arranged by hostels... I think for that country is the best idea (if not the only besides having own wheels or pack ...

I am looking forward to travelling there next year (spring, summer), but I can´t go longer than 10 days and, taking into account the distances, the lack of public transport and the unavailability of own wheels, would appreciate opinions on whether this can be interesting and it´s possible to visit i...
