Lonely Planet author John Vlahides braves political turmoil and plunges deep into the heart of Madagascar. In this mysterious land of taboos and ancestor worship, he explores a spooky subterranean river system, meets a healer who treats him with tobacco and booze, and earns his rock-climbing stripes on the archipelago of Nosy Hara. In the Central Highlands, he gets the surprise of his life at a circumcision ceremony, becomes the star of the show in a coming-of-age bull-wrestling fiesta and is welcomed into an ancestral reburial ceremony that blurs the division between life and death.

In this episode of Roads Less Travelled, Lonely Planet sends travel writer and archaeologist Iain Shearer down the old Silk Road and into Kazakhstan. Two decades after achieving independence from Mother Russia, Kazakhstan is still an unknown quantity. As Iain blazes a trail through one of Asia's most enigmatic countries, he learns the ancient art of hunting with eagles, sandboards down 'singing' dunes with gnarly Kazakh snowboarders, and helps a nomad family build their summer camp. Heading west across the rolling steppe, Iain discovers a fishing fleet left stranded in the desert, takes the controls of a spaceship in the birthplace of the space race, and joins a moving ritual with Kazakhstan's incredible singing Sufis.
