Digital nomads who’ve travelled Central Asia

Question

Hey everyone! I’m planning to travel Central Asia from 1st week of September to November/early December:

Kazakhstan – 1 month
Kyrgyzstan – 1 month
Uzbekistan – 2 weeks
Tajikistan – 2 weeks

I’ve already done quite a bit of research, but I’d love some first-hand advice from people who’ve actually been there.

What are the absolute must-dos and things you’d be cautious about or avoid? Especially anything around transport, weather, border crossings, internet/SIMs, working remotely, or mountain trips.

I’ll be working remotely on weekdays morning and travelling mostly on weekends, so any tips for balancing work + travel would also be appreciated!

What do you wish you knew before going?
