who we are

We are not generalists.

Since 1986, MIR has focused on the Silk Road countries of the South Caucasus and the Central Asian Stans. These destinations need local knowledge, and we have spent four decades building it.

MIR DMC exists for travel planners who need a reliable ground partner across this region: someone who knows the countries, has the relationships in place, and makes the planning work.

Conditions here change faster than published sources reflect.

The Stans and the South Caucasus are developing rapidly, but not uniformly. Hotel quality, road access, permit requirements, and border procedures vary significantly across the region and change more often than most published sources reflect.

Our offices in Tashkent and Tbilisi are staffed year-round. The Tashkent team works across the five Central Asian Stans; the Tbilisi team works across the three South Caucasus countries.
