L’Uzbekistan è il paese più ricco di storia fra tutte le repubbliche dell'Asia centrale. Bellissimi i paesaggi; nella Valle dello Zeravasan sorse la prima civiltà fluviale. La natura si fonde alla storia… ma la storia e le tradizioni sono anche negli aspetti più quotidiani: nelle piccole botteghe dove si lavorano i tappeti o gli arazzi di seta o nei laboratori dove si impara a costruire liuti di legno. Affascinante la vista del mausoleo di Gur-e Amir, nella romanzesca Samarcanda: i mosaici e le decorazioni creano un emozionante impatto visivo. Il paese annovera alcune delle città più antiche del mondo, molti dei principali centri sulla Via della Seta e la maggior parte delle bellezze architettoniche di quest'area geografica.

Uzbeskitan, quando andare?

L’Uzbekistan ha un clima essenzialmente continentale: freddo in inverno (nel mese di gennaio la temperatura scende spesso sotto zero), e molto caldo in estate (a luglio può raggiungere anche i 46 gradi centigradi). La temperature variano notevolmente, con escursioni termiche diurne, soprattutto tra i deserti e le zone montuose. Con l’approssimarsi della stagione estiva il clima risulterà piuttosto caldo; le temperature oscilleranno tra i 25 e i 30 gradi di giorno, più fresco nelle ore notturne. Consigliati abiti di cotone comodi, non succinti, un copricapo per ripararsi dal sole durante il giorno. I condizionatori possono risultare agli occidentali alquanto antiquati e rumorosi.

Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan (2022)

On this Page

When most people land here, they have no idea what to expect. By the end of their stay, they don’t want to leave. This is the ultimate tour of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

Everywhere you look in this region there seems to be the most beautiful snow-covered mountain range or the most mesmerizing lakes, the most dramatic gorges and beckoning deserts. Wandering through ancient cities full of pulsing energy, you’ll soak up the history. Traveling along dirt roads into hidden valleys, you’ll soak up the serene nature. Spending time in small towns and villages, you’ll understand why this region is considered one of the friendliest in the world.

This trip takes you to the heart of the Silk Road, where being welcomed into local homes for tea is as common as could be. There’s the colorful non-touristy markets, traditional crafts, unique regional cuisine and several activities that will leave your heart warm, your smile wide and your days unforgettable.

As we travel through these wonderful lands, you’ll stay in traditional yurts, warm guesthouses and even with local families. And you’ll dine in homes, with nomads and at some of the best eateries around.

In reality, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan are two countries that few travelers reach. But for those who do travel here, they quickly become two of their favorite destinations on the planet.

Our destination is the beautiful Chon-Kemin Valley where we'll visit a local farm village. We'll go for a short hike through the valley, meet local farmers and then enjoy an excellent dinner and overnight at a local family-run guesthouse.

After a 3 hour drive through the Uzbek steppes, we'll reach Nurata, where we'll take a short tour through this historical town before having lunch with a local family. From here we'll continue into the Kyzylkum Desert where we'll arrive at our yurt camp near Aydarkul Lake. This is where we'll spend the day and night, interacting with nomadic families, doing some light hiking, admiring the scenery and hanging out with the camels. At night, we'll settle into our traditional Uzbek yurts for a peaceful sleep experience out in nature. *This night includes shared accommodation at the yurt camp.

Highlights: Walking tour of the ancient city, free time

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Our walking tour today will take us straight inside the old city walls where you'll be awed by the Kalyan minaret, Bolo Haus mosque, traditional bazaar and the local crafts and jewelry market. That's not to mention the incredibly friendly people who are bound to strike up conversations, invite you for tea and most likely to meet their friends. With free time in the afternoon, you'll be able to wander around to the areas you like best and to really feel as if you are in an ancient land that not many visitors reach.

Highlights: High speed train back to Tashkent, farewell dinner

Breakfast, Dinner

Uzbekistan tours take you to the greatest cities of the Silk Road: Samarkand, Khiva, and Bukhara. Old parts of these cities are intact versions of ancient Silk Road cities, where you can wander through alleyways and monuments and see these cities as they looked centuries ago. Recognizing their impressive architecture, atmospheres, and value to humanity, UNESCO has designated them to be World Heritage Sites.

As part of our Uzbekistan tours and holiday packages we offer a wide range of activities in addition to visiting historical sites: you can ride a camel in the Kyzylkum Desert, stay in a yurt, taste (or even cook) the best pilaf, or meet master-craftsmen as they make silk fabric in Margilan or pottery in Gijduvan. If you prefer an active holiday, visit the mountain resorts of Chimgan and Beldersay, or head to the Aral Sea for a unique opportunity for adventure seekers, photographers, and ecologists. Alternatively, spend some time in the Nurata Mountains, to see untouched nature and everyday village life while supporting local ecotourism.

For those who love the arts, the Fergana Valley, with its rich and colourful textiles and other handicrafts, is ideal. Intricate skills in embroidery, pottery, carpet-weaving and blacksmithing have been handed down through families for six or seven generations. Another option is to head to Nukus, which has one of the best art collections in the region, including the world's second-largest collection of Russian avant-garde art. In Tashkent, attend a ballet or opera performance or dine at one of Uzbekistan’s finest restaurants.

Book an Uzbekistan tour with us if you love ancient history, mesmerizing architecture, exotic legends, applied arts, warm hospitality, rich pilaf with crispy bread, and abundant fruits and vegetables grown naturally under the bright sun. We’re pleased to offer both escorted small group tours and private trips, and can even design a tailor-made travel package just for you!

Depart UK on your scheduled flight to Tashkent

On arrival into Tashkent, you will be met by a local guide and transferred to your hotel. You will have a few hours to refresh and then just before lunch you will head out to enjoy a cultural tour of Tashkent starting with Hast Imam Square. Built on the tomb of known scientist, scholar and craftsman Hazrati Imam, the square is the religious centre of Tashkent and home to a number of beautiful mosques, monuments and madrasas. A madrasa is a centre of Islamic learning and there are some excellent medieval examples here such as the elegant blue-domed Barak-Khan Madrasa with its imposing, but no less elegant gateway, as well as the Muyi Muborak Madrasa with its intricately carved ceilings and ancient manuscripts, including the Osman Koran, considered to be the oldest copy of the Koran in the world. As a contrast to these 16th Century sites, you'll then visit the Chorsu Bazaar and experience the hustle and bustle of everyday Central Asian life as everything from spices, grains and fruits are sold. This is followed by a visit to the Alisher Navoi Opera and Ballet Theatre Square built in neoclassical style by famous Russian architect Alexey Shchusey. Finally you'll pay a visit to Mustaqilik (Independence Square) home to the country's senate and government buildings.

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Morning at leisure before catching your flight to Urgench for your transfer to Khiva. You will have an afternoon at leisure.

Breakfast & Dinner

An important trading post on the Silk Road for centuries due to its position halfway between China and Rome, Khiva is a colourful treat for the eyes and a UNESCO-listed treasure that feels more like an open-air museum than a functioning city. Today, you'll get the chance to wander its ancient streets and discover a millennium of history on a fascinating guided tour. Gaze up at the imposing mud-brick walls of Ichan Kala, Khiva's inner city; explore the 12th century fortress of Kuhna Ark and wonder at the intricately tiled Pahlawan Mahmud Mausoleum, built in honour of the brave Uzbek hero Pahlavan Mahmoud.

After breakfast, board a coach or minibus and enjoy the vastness of the Uzbekistan Desert views from Khiva to Bukhara. Upon arrival, you will have time to explore the local area.

One of the most ancient cities in Uzbekistan, Bukhara is over 3000 years old and dates back to nearly a thousand years before Alexander the Great's conquest of Central Asia. Like most historic cities in Uzbekistan it was an important trading post along the Silk Road, but is probably better known throughout the Islamic world as a being a great centre of learning and has even been referred to as Central Asia's holiest city. Today, you will get the opportunity to explore some of its many architectural wonders on a guided tour of the city. The formidable Ark citadel was initially built in the 5th century and was the fortified residence of the rulers of Bukhara for centuries, containing palaces, temples barracks and even a prison. It has been destroyed and subsequently rebuilt many times, including by Genghis Khan who ransacked Bukhara in 1220 AD. Your tour guide will escort you around the various minarets, mosques, madrassas and mausoleums of the city before leaving you to explore this architectural wonder at your own pace.

Today is at leisure to wander this fabulous city, exploring its bazaars, stone pools and ancient streets without a guide.

After breakfast, depart for Samarkand stopping en route at the 'green city' of Shakhrisabz. With a well-groomed, green and modern appearance it's hard to believe the city is over 2700 years old. The centre of the city has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site and contains an exceptional collection of monuments, including the gleaming white Ak Saray Palace built for Amir Timur or Tamerlane, famous warrior Khan, military tactician and founder of the Timurid Empire. Born in a neighbouring village, Tamerlane turned Shakrisabz into his residence after assuming power and ordered his architects to build a series of intricate mausoleums and stunning mosques, the ruins of which can still be explored today. Leaving the Timurids 1st city behind you'll continue onwards to the 14th century capital of their empire, Samarkand.

Samarkand is the epitome of a journey along the Silk Road. The name alone conjures up romantic, almost mythical images of vast tiled squares; huge blue domes sparkling in the sun and patterned minarets reaching into the sky. A trip to Registan, the city's Timurid heart and Central Square proves this to be a reality and showcases the fine work of Tamerlane's master craftsmen and builders, acquired from throughout his sprawling empire. A wide mosaicked square is backed by three immense madrasas, beautifully adorned in intricate blues green and violet patterns, each one a monument to the city's place as the intellectual capital of the region. During the middle ages the city attracted the greatest scholars, architects and scientists around, which can be seen first hand on your visit to Ulugbek's Observatory. Grandson of Tamerlane, Ulugbek was a famous astronomer, scientist and architect whose observatory helped him to produce the most comprehensive catalogue of stars since the 2nd century and greatly advance the world's understanding of the solar system. You can pay your respects to both him and his famous conquering grandfather at the sumptuous Gur- Emir, the ornately decorated mausoleum of the royal family. Once a marvel of the east, its influence can be seen in the style of the great architectural tombs of the Mughal dynasty of North India such the Taj Mahal in Agra. Before dinner, visit the Khovrenko Winery and sample a range of Samarkand wines.

This morning, you'll visit the Koni Ghil Paper Mill renowned for making paper of such exquisite quality that only sultans, emirs and viziers could afford it. This 'royal' paper has been exported along the Silk Road for centuries and many 9th and 10th century Arabic and Persian manuscripts were written on it. After this you'll explore one of the treasures of Samarkand, the Bibi-Khanym Mosque built in the late 14th century as a tribute to Tamerlane's wife as well as his victory in Delhi. It is one of the best-known architectural wonders of Central Asia. You'll have a chance to do some shopping at the local Siyab bazaar, before having the rest of the day at leisure to explore this UNESCO listed city at your own pace. This evening you will have the chance to experience a little modern Uzbek culture by enjoying dinner with a local family who will provide a master class in cooking Pilav, a famous rice based dish in Uzbekistan

Take the morning at leisure, you can spend more time shopping in Siab Bazaar or relax with a coffee in the boulevards around Registan Square. Take a train to Tashkent where you can enjoy a festive farewell dinner to round off this unforgettable trip.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, before transferring to the airport for your return flight to the UK or onto your chosen extension.

Tour Reviews

Some muddle up with hotels, asked for a double bed rather than twin beds. A bit more free time would be good and the overall pace on the tour was good for an older group. Excellent guide.

Nigel Tompkins

Most hotels were very good with the exception of the Area Hotel in Samarkand which didn't meet the standards of the others.

The hotels were good especially Arkanchi Hotel and Malika Hotel. This was a fantastic tour from start to finish. The excursions were brilliant and the tour rep Shirin was excellent. She was so knowledgeable about Uzbek history and the social changes in her country. The Ubekistan Airways was also good. I would recommend this tour to other people as a wonderful experience.

The hotels were on the whole good but the Asia group had extremely hard beds. The Asia Tashkent was also not so good with the breakfast. All the others were excellent.

D Patterson

The guide and driver were amazing they thought of everything.

Best hotel was where we could meet informally as at Bukhara but all hotels clean and service fine

Brian Sheffield

City Palace was by far best standard and comfort. All hotels were in great central locations

Excellent service from start to finish. Outstanding guide and driver.

Anne Dunbar

All the hotels were in good very central locations

Jill Spencer

Nice size rooms. Clean and comfortable. All very handy for sight seeing

If you’re visiting Uzbekistan, your passport should have an ‘expiry date’ at least three months from the day you arrive and at least two blank pages.

A visa is not required for your trip to Uzbekistan. You must register with the local district OVIR (Department of Foreign Travel and Exit) within three days of your arrival. Saturdays and Sundays count as part of the three-day period. If you’re staying in a hotel, you’ll be asked for your passport at check-in. Hotel staff will complete the registration paperwork and return your passport. If you do not register within 3 days of arrival in the country, you get fined for each day you are late so it is important to ensure that it is done to avoid any issues when leaving the country. Upon departure, you may be required to show proof of registration, so it's essential to keep your registration slip/s safe. Further advice should be sought from the applicable tourist authority for other nationalities and for general queries. We strongly advise you check your destinations’ Tourist Board or Embassy for the most up-to-date guidelines regarding passport validity.

The currency in Uzbekistan is the Uzbekistani Som (UZS), and that is the only currency we recommend you use on the tour. We recommend that you exchange your currency before you leave the UK. Visa and Mastercard, debit and credit card are accepted in main tourist areas but are not always reliable and smaller areas and establishments only accept local currency in cash. ATM’s are also available in large cities and tourist areas. All foreign currencies can be exchanged in major banks, but the preferred currencies are US Dollars and Euros (new dated notes in best condition).

As normal practice you may be asked for your credit card details on check-in at the hotel in order to cover any extras incurred during your stay. If you do not have a credit card, you may be asked for a cash deposit. MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted in hotels as well as American Express.

You will need to take some extra money with you to cover any meals where these are not mentioned on your itinerary and personal purchases, such as souvenirs, drinks and snacks. Approximately (£400-500) per person should be sufficient for the duration of your tour.

Tipping It is at your customary to tip both your driver and guide. we would recommend approximately $5 per day for guide and $3 per day for each driver. Tipping of hotel staff and porters is estimated at $1-$2 per service and restaurants is 5-10% of the bill. Tips are accepted in the local currency, however it is asked that if you do not tip in the local currency that you only pay with notes, as coins cannot be exchanged.

The minimum number of travellers in your group will be 10, and the maximum will be 35.

Uzbekistan is a predominantly Muslim country and very conservative. It is expected for everyone to dress modestly. Woman – cover shoulders, midriff and legs to below the knees. Men – shorts are acceptable but working around shirtless is not. When visiting mosques, mausoleums, and other religious sites avoid revealing or tight fitting clothes, covering shoulders and knees and women may consider brining a scarf to cover your heads. Comfortable slip-on shoes are ideal for easy removal when entering religious buildings.
