Tour Overview
- Wander through ancient Silk Road cities with a focus on their rich history, including Persian, Timurid, and Soviet influences.
- Hikes in remote valleys and gorges
- Experience a traditional stay in a yurt and horse riding
- Trek or drive to this high-altitude lake
- Embrace traditional cooking and handicraft experiences with locals
- Witness eagle hunting
- Mingle with nomads and shepherds
- Explore ancient Islamic sites, and local bazaars, and enjoy a ceramics master class.
Ancient architecture, Silk Road fables, stories of merchants, and traders, and life on the road entwined with remote mountain lakes, valleys of wildflowers, hikes through remote cobbled villages dotted with shepherds and their flocks - a journey through Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan is the perfect introduction to Central Asia.
Dusted in eye-popping cobalt, cyans, and sapphires, Uzbekistan has an incredible tangle of history to unravel and hidden sites to uncover. From its former Persian rule and key location along the famed Silk Road, to which it owes much of its grand architecture and culture, to a short period under Soviet rule, this jumble of traditions is a treasure trove waiting to be cracked open. We veer you through Uzbekistan's great sites, mingle with their nomads, and cross into Kyrgyzstan – a land defined by its natural beauty. Soak in joyously unspoilt mountainscapes, stark craggy ridges, and rolling jailoos (summer pastures) which are brought to life by semi-nomadic, yurt-dwelling shepherds.
