Without breaking it down region by region.....

F/L 340 then F/L 360 Bangkok across India is normal RVSM levels with a routine step climb between the two. Then, back to ICAO F/L 350 for some of the 'stans', then 11600M (close to F/L 381) in some of the 'stans' where metric altitudes still prevail, then (thank God) across Europe where RVSM and sanity prevail.

A bit simplified, but that's the essentials. Hope that helps.

PS. I fly this route several times per month and the only ex Southern Russian state name that I can remember is Georgia. Too many stans to remember.
