Itinerary

Let your imagination wander along the Silk Road with "Uzbekistan Uncovered," a 15-day cultural tour designed for seniors ready for a moderate adventure. Guided from Tashkent to the storied cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva, you’ll trace the footsteps of traders and empires among striking mosaic domes, vibrant bazaars, and ancient caravanserais.

Beyond these legendary cities, the journey delves deeper: stay in a traditional Nurata mountain village, explore the semi-autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan, and witness the environmental story of the shrinking Aral Sea. The itinerary artfully blends iconic sites with off-the-beaten-path experiences.

The true USP here is the immersive overnight stay in a remote mountain village—offering rare insight into rural Uzbek life and showcasing local hospitality. For those who cherish cultural depth and historical intrigue, this tour package is an unforgettable Silk Road adventure.
