The three cities, plus a yurt camp at Yangi Gazgan and two days as a guest in Asraf village.
desde $760por persona
The monuments are only half of the country. This route pairs Bukhara and Samarkand with the parts of Uzbekistan that most itineraries drive past.
You stop at the Gijduvan ceramic workshop, sleep in a yurt camp near Nurata, and then stay with a family in Asraf, a mountain village where the guest houses are run by the villagers themselves. There is a guided hike above the village, and a lot of tea.
Who it suits: travellers who want the tilework and the everyday life behind it.
Met at the airport and taken to the hotel. Depending on when you land, a city tour or free time.
The Afrosiyob fast train at 07:28, in Bukhara by 11:19. Afternoon walking tour of the old town.
Shared yurts on floor mattresses, shared washing facilities, no wifi. It is clean, warm and genuinely remote — and one night only.
Two to three hours at an easy pace with some ascent. Ordinary trainers are enough.
A stop at the Gijduvan ceramic workshop, then on to Nurata and the yurt camp at Yangi Gazgan. Camel riding, a fire, and a folk singer if the evening allows.
Transfer to Asraf, where you are a guest of a local family. Meetings and exchanges between visitors and residents are the point of the day, not a side effect of it.
A guided hike up from the guest house into the mountains — in spring the slopes are green and full of flowers — then the road to Samarkand.
Registan square with the Ulugbek (1417–1420), Sher-Dor (1619–1636) and Tilya-Kori madrasas, Gur-e-Amir, Bibi-Khanym and the Shah-i-Zinda necropolis.
Morning train to Tashkent and a transfer to the airport.
