This 14-day Silk Road tour from Uzbekistan to Kyrgyzstan runs one way, from Tashkent to Bishkek, so you never travel the same road twice. The first week belongs to the great oasis cities — Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand, linked by a flight, a desert drive and the fast Afrosiyob train. Then you cross the Kamchik pass into the Fergana valley for silk weavers in Margilan and potters in Rishtan, enter Kyrgyzstan at Osh and walk in the walnut forest of Arslanbob before the long mountain drive to Bishkek. Private, with hotels and guesthouses, spring and autumn.
The price is calculated individually: it depends on group size, dates and accommodation level. Send a request and we will prepare an offer for your group.

Moments that stay with you
Season. May–June and September–October are ideal: pleasant in the Uzbek cities and the mountain road to Bishkek is open. In July–August the desert cities are very hot.
Borders and visas. Most EU citizens need no visa for Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan; please check for your passport. The land border at Dostuk can take 1–2 hours.
Dress. Covered shoulders and knees for mosques and mausoleums, a light scarf for women.
Booking. 10–30% deposit by bank transfer or card, the rest on arrival.
This tour starts in Tashkent and ends in Bishkek and spends more time in Uzbekistan and the Fergana valley crafts. The 15-day Silk Road tour of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan runs the other way and includes Issyk-Kul and a yurt night at Song-Kol.
On day 10 your Uzbek guide drives you to the Dostuk crossing near Andijan; you walk through both passport controls and your Kyrgyz guide waits on the other side. Usually 1–2 hours.
Yes. We offer three levels in the cities: standard (good 3* hotels and guesthouses), boutique (small historic hotels in the old towns) and deluxe (4–5*). Arslanbob is always a homestay.
