About Turava: Silk Road Map & Guide
Turava is a travel map and guide to the Silk Road in Central Asia โ Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan as one journey. 2,200+ sights on one map, an audio guide, a Silk Road trip planner across five countries, hiking trails and a travel passport of GPS stamps. In 15 languages.
๐ FIVE COUNTRIES, ONE ROAD
UZBEKISTAN โ Samarkand and the Registan, Bukhara, Khiva and Itchan Kala, Tashkent, the Fergana Valley, Termez, the Aral Sea.
KAZAKHSTAN โ Almaty, Astana, Turkistan and the Yasawi mausoleum, Charyn Canyon, Lake Kaindy, Shymkent.
KYRGYZSTAN โ Bishkek, Issyk-Kul, Osh and Sulaiman-Too, Karakol, Song-Kol, Burana Tower, Tash Rabat.
TAJIKISTAN โ Dushanbe, the Pamir, Iskanderkul and the Fann Mountains, Panjakent and Sarazm, Khujand.
TURKMENISTAN โ Ashgabat, Merv, the Darvaza gas crater, Nisa, Kunya-Urgench, Yangykala Canyon.
๐บ MAP OF 2,200+ SIGHTS
Mausoleums, madrasahs, mosques, fortresses, ancient cities, museums and nature on one map, with the distance from where you stand. Filter by country and category, save places, plan your day.
๐ง AUDIO GUIDE
At the famous monuments, put your headphones in and listen instead of squinting at a screen in the sun. An audio tour in your own language.
๐ SILK ROAD PASSPORT โ TRAVEL STAMPS
Collect a digital stamp at every monument you visit. Your phone checks the GPS: a stamp cannot be earned from your sofa โ and that is exactly why it is worth something.
๐ค TRIP PLANNER: A ROUTE THAT BUILDS ITSELF
Pick your cities โ Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva and 60+ more across five countries. Turava works out the order, the days, the transport between cities and the border crossings. Where a leg is unverified, we say so instead of inventing it.
๐ฐ THE SAME PLACE, A CENTURY AGO
Colour photographs from 1871โ1911 (Prokudin-Gorsky and the Turkestan Album). Drag the slider and Registan, Bukhara or Shah-i-Zinda turn back into the city of a hundred years ago. 68 monuments, 350+ photographs.
๐ TRAVEL MODE
Walk around the city with the phone in your pocket: Turava tells you when a sight is within 500 m. You switch it on yourself, and your location never leaves the phone.
โฐ MOUNTAINS AND HIKING
185 hiking trails with distance and elevation, plus border-zone and permit notes.
๐ค LOCAL GUIDES
Price, languages and specialities โ all open.
๐ฝ WHERE TO EAT
900+ places to eat near the sights.
๐งญ THE PRACTICAL PART
Visa rules with the official source and the date they were checked. Currency rates. Emergency numbers that work offline. Phrasebook. AI travel assistant. Step counter with a home-screen widget.
๐ด WHEN THE SIGNAL DROPS
Download a city pack: descriptions and photos work without a connection. (Google's map itself is not stored offline โ the licence forbids it, and we do not promise what we do not do.)
๐ฎ QUIZ
Recognise monuments by photo, city and category.
๐ 15 LANGUAGES
English, Russian, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Turkmen, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Indonesian, Malay.
Free to download. Optional Turava Premium unlocks the full day-by-day plan and the audio guide everywhere.
Turava is built in Central Asia, for people travelling the Silk Road.
