Journey to the fabled Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara

Start and end in Tashkent, the trip Fann Mountains Trek & Silk Road Cities is a guided trekking trip that takes 14 days. You will be traveling through Bukhara, Kulikalon Lakes, Aydar Kŭl and 6 other destinations in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Fann Mountains Trek & Silk Road Cities is a small group trip which includes accommodation, meals and others. Please see the package includes section for further details.

We combine a trek in the impressive Pamirs Fann Mountains with the fabled Silk Road cities of Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. The Fann Mountains, boasting numerous 5,000m plus peaks, are a section of the western Pamir-Alay mountain range in Tajikistan, sandwiched by the Zarafshans to the north and the Gissar to the south. The Pamir Mountains are a rugged and remote wilderness of jagged ridges, crystal alpine lakes and snow capped peaks that stretch and fold towards the Hindu Kush and the Karakoram. We combine a five day trek in these impressive mountains with time in the fabled Silk Road cities of Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. From Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, we travel south to the Tajikistan border and up into the foothills of the Pamirs. In the company of our expert local guides and mule handlers we enter deep valleys with crystal clear lakes and flowering alpine meadows where we may see the summer camps of the Tijiki shepherds. Crossing a string of passes linking isolated valleys including Alauddin Pass (3,530m), we are rewarded with views of the ranges that stretch far into Central Asia and the south. Completing our trek we travel west to the recently reopened border point at Jartepa and on to Samarkand to marvel at the intricate mosques and palaces of the great Tamerlane rule. We complete our trilogy of the Silk Road Cities by visiting Bukhara, a prominent city along the Silk Road trade route between the East and West, with ancient architecture dating largely from the 9th to the 17th centuries.

“The trip is an excellent combination of trekking and cultural site seeing. It combines rural and urban experiences so you get to meet a wide range of people and living conditions. You will learn alot. Be aware that the trekking part is quite difficult as the mountain paths are very very steep and continuously so for your entire daily 3-5 hour accents and descents. But, you will also get to experience first hand rural Tajikistan - including an overnight stay with a family. The Uzbek guide in particular was quite experienced. The accommodation and food throughout was excellent.”
