Si-o Seh bridge is 1 of 11 historic bridges in Isfahan. Built in 1602, 33 arches support its 298m length and mean it is also known as Siose Bridge (Persian for “33 Bridge” or “Bridge of 33 Arches”) Spanning the Zayandeh river, which is now dry for 9-10 months of the year (in a visible sign of Iran’s water issues, and an emotive subject for the locals), the lack of water allows the beautiful symmetry of it's arches to be explored. Massive thanks to @far_ndr @farnaz.ndr.90 @u3ef for showing us the hidden sights of their amazing city. . . . #siosepolbridge #siosepol #esfahan #isfahan #esfahan_isfahan #iran #persia #esfahanphoto #isfahaninsta #isfahanShot #isfahani #everydayisfahan #esfahani #esfahanphotography #iranphotography #discoveriran #irantravel #ir_ig #ig_iran #traveliran #mustseeiran #irantraveling #beautiful_iran #uncoveriran #iranshots #everdayiran #mustseeiran #iranunveiled #travelphotography #travelblogger

The Pamir Hotel in Murghab is literally the only hotel for 100's of kilometers. It smells damp and the food was terrible. But after days of homestays and days more to come, the hot showers were absolute bliss and it was a welcome change to have a proper bed and a door we could lock. The best part though is the place is just buzzing with travellers - motorbikers, Mongol rally guys and gals, crazy cyclists, people like us in 4WDs with drivers, hitchhikers and everything in between. . . . #pamirs #pamirhighway #m41 #murghab #gornobadakshan #tajikistan #tadjikistan #tadżykistan #traveltajikistan #exploretajikistan #instatajikistan #мургаб #таджикистан #памирскийтракт #centralasia #explorecentralasia #travelcentralasia #travelphotography #offthebeatentrack #offthebeatenpath #roadlesstravelled #travelawesome #worlderlust #backpacker #traveldeeper #travelgram #travelphotography #iamatraveller #travelblogger

From the 16th to 18th centuries Turkistan was the capital of the Kazakh khans. It is home to the mausoleum of Turkic Muslim holy man, Kozha Akhmed Yasaui, built by Timor in the late 14th century. It is Kazakhstan’s greatest architectural monument and most important pilgrimage site. Despite Timur dying before it was complete, leaving the main front facade unfinished - without the tilework and scaffolding poles still protruding - it is reflective of Timor’s creations in Uzbekistan (i.e. the Registran in Samarkand), and has no rivals in Kazakhstan. . . . #turkistan #turkestan #туркестан #шымкент #kazakhstan #travelkazakhstan #visitkazakhstan #kazakhstankz #kz #visitqazaqstan #thestans #silkroad #centralasia #travelcentralasia #explorecentralasia #offthebeatentrack #offthebeatenpath #roadlesstravelled #backpacker #traveldeeper #travelgram #travelphotography #bluetiles #mausoleum #mosaic #architecture #traveladdict #travelblogger #iamatraveller

Founded in 1586 Erdene Zuu (Hundred Treasures) was the first Buddhist monastery in Mongolia, and is now considered to be the most important in the country. At its height within it's huge walled compound it had 60-100 temples and 1,000 monks. 108 stupas are spaced along its walls. All but three of the temples were destroyed during the Stalinist purges in the 1930's and many monks were killed or sent to Siberia. A number of important thangkas, statues and masks were saved by being buried in nearby mountains, or hidden in local homes. On a hill outside the monastery is Kharkhorin Rock, a stone phallus that said to restrain the sexual impulses of the monks and ensure their good behaviour. . . . #erdenezuukhiid #erdenezuu #erdenezuumonastery #kharkhorin #mongolia #travelmongolia #mongoliatravel #visitmongolia #escapetomongolia #discovermongolia #instamongolia #mongolianadventure #monastery #buddhism #asia #asiatravel #discoverasia #exploreasia #travelasia #visitasia #asiatraveller #instaasia #latergram #offthebeatentrack #offthebeatenpath #roadlesstravelled #traveldeeper #travelblogger #iamatraveller

Staying in the Main Bazaar (Paharganj) in New Delhi is a travellers rite of passage - it's crowded maze of narrow alleys off the main street make you lose all sense of orientation, while on the main street the shopkeepers and the hawkers jostle for your attention while you try and navigate the crowds and the tuk tuks and the cows and the rubbish. The sensory overload leaves you in no doubt - you can only be in India! . . . #mainbazaar #delhi #delhigram #delhidiaries #delhistreet #delhiphotography #exploredelhi #India #discover_india #indiaclicks #travelindia #incredibleindia #indiagram #indiatravelgram #ig_india #ig_indiashots #india_gram #indiaphotography #discover_india #yourshot_india #indiapictures #streetphotographyindia #inspiroindia #storiesofindia #theindianroute #nzhtravel #fujifilmnz #travelblogger #iamatraveller

The view from the top of Nizwa Fort, Oman. Built in the 17th century by Sultan bin Saif al Yaruba, the fort is known for its 40m-tall tower. From the top you can survey the town, it's surrounding date plantations and the Hajar Mountains that dominate the town. . . . #nizwafort #nizwa #hajarmountains #oman #oman_pix #everydayoman #traveloman #exploreoman #discoveroman #oman_photography #oman_traveller #igersoman #omaninstagram #omani_traveler #middleeast #exploremiddleeast #travelmiddleeast #discovermiddleeast #landscape #travelphotography #offthebeatentrack #offthebeatenpath #traveldeeper #travelblogger #iamatraveller

A legacy of the Portuguese colonisation of East Timor (Timor Leste) in 1520 is the beautiful old colonial building that dot its capital Dili. This one was known as Casa Europa, an old Portuguese army barracks, that was taken over by the EU as it supported the country following its independence. . . . #dili #easttimor #timorleste #discovertimorleste #southeastasia #southeastasiatravel #asia #discoverasia #exploreasia #travelasia #asiatravel #visitasia #asiatraveller #instaasia #offthebeatentrack #offthebeatenpath #adventureisoutthere #adventuretravel #adventureawaits #streetlife #latergram #travelphotography #travelblogger #iamatraveller

The El Taito Geysers sit high (4320m) in the Andes Mountains in northern Chile not far from the Bolivian border. The world’s third largest geyser field it is home to around 80 active geysers. Local tours depart from San Pedro de Atacama before dawn and you bump over rough tracks in the dark occasionally seeing the silhouette of a volcano or 2. The early start so you arrive at sunrise, when the cold, high-altitude air creates a mystical landscape of steam. . . . #eltaito #sanpedro #sanpedrodeatacama #atacama #atacamatrip #atacamadesert #chile #chilegram #travelchile #discoverchile #explorechile #southamerica #latinamerica #discoversouthamerica #travelblogger #instatravel #wanderlust #highaltitude #geyser #backpacker #landscapephotography #travelphotography #travelblogger #iamatraveller
