A stamp for every place you've actually stood. Not a check-in. Not a photo. Your iPhone checks your location, and the stamp unlocks only within 300 metres of the monument. You have to be there. That is the whole point. Turava brings together 2,200+ places across Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan: mausoleums, mosques, madrasahs, fortresses, museums, ancient sites and natural landmarks. Five countries treated as one road, because that is how the Silk Road worked. SILK ROAD PASSPORT Collect a digital stamp at every place you reach. Fill your passport, climb levels and earn badges. THE SAME PLACE, A CENTURY AGO Archive images of 68 places, 354 in all, among them Prokudin-Gorsky's colour photographs and the Turkestan Album from the Library of Congress. Swipe through Registan, Bukhara or Shah-i-Zinda as earlier travellers saw them, then tap to see the place today. Every image carries its year and its source. AUDIO GUIDE Put your headphones in and listen to the story of the monument in front of you, read aloud by your iPhone, instead of squinting at a screen in the sun. A ROUTE THAT BUILDS ITSELF Pick your cities, say Tashkent, Bukhara and Samarkand. Turava works out the order, the days, the transport between cities and the sights along the road. Where a leg is unverified, we say so instead of inventing it. In a city, save the places you like and get an estimated day plan with the time between stops. EVERYTHING NEAR YOU The distance to every monument from where you stand, on the map and in the list. LOCAL GUIDES Price per day, languages, specialities and traveller reviews are shown up front. Send a request and the guide replies in the app. WHEN THE SIGNAL DROPS Download a city and its places, photos and descriptions open without internet: Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Shahrisabz, Tashkent, Turkistan, Almaty, Astana, Bishkek, Issyk-Kul, Dushanbe, Khujand, Merv, Ashgabat. Street maps still need a connection. We do not promise what we do not do. MOUNTAINS AND TRAILS 185 hiking trails in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, each with its length, elevation profile and weather forecast. THE PRACTICAL PART Entry and visa rules with the official source and the date they were checked. Currency rates. Emergency numbers that work offline and dial with one tap. A phrasebook with audio, typical prices, transport between cities, local food and prayer times. ASK AND RECOGNISE Point the camera at a monument or an object to learn what it is, or ask the AI assistant about history, food and transport. Both have a daily limit. QUIZ Recognise monuments by photo, city and century. Five rounds a day. 15 LANGUAGES Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Turkmen, English, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Arabic. No account is needed to explore.
