Uzbekistan by Bike - September 2025
A cultural journey on two wheels – exploring Uzbekistan’s mountains, deserts and Silk Road cities by bike.. This guided cycling adventure takes you deep into the heart of Uzbekistan – from the legendary Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, to the remote mountain villages and desert plains.
Over 10 days of supported cycling, you’ll cover up to 450km, pedalling on a mix of sealed roads, gravel tracks and rural dirt paths. The terrain is varied – with exhilarating descents, some short climbs, and quiet backroads that weave through mountain ridges, wide valleys and remote stone villages. You’ll be supported throughout by a backup vehicle and expert local crew, with a quality hybrid or mountain bike provided.
Cycle from the foothills of the Tian Shan and Turkestan ranges, spot Severtsov sheep, and swim in the turquoise waters of Lake Aydarkul, with nights spent in yurts, village homestays and small local hotels.
Out of the saddle, uncover centuries of cultural richness: from caravanserais and madrasahs to grand mosques and mausoleums. Explore the intricate tilework of Samarkand’s Registan, wander the old quarters of Bukhara, and step inside vibrant bazaars and citadels once ruled by kings and khans.
This is a true cultural journey on two wheels, led by local experts and built on decades of experience operating immersive adventure travel across Central Asia.
