Travel story
In Samarkand, savor the magnificent Islamic architecture, including Registan Square, each revealing a different face by day and by night.
Using the high-speed train makes it possible to efficiently visit Samarkand's main spots even on a short itinerary.
In the Chimgan mountains, take a lift to the summit and enjoy panoramic views of the majestic peaks and valleys of the southwestern Tien Shan.
In Tashkent, experience the historic bazaars and the beautiful metro alongside the modern cityscape, encountering both old and new charms.
This five-day journey condenses Uzbekistan's varied expressions — the blue ancient city, striking mountain scenery, and a lively urban center.
Signature points
Enjoy Samarkand's two faces: day and night
Take your time sightseeing Samarkand's representative attractions such as Registan Square and the Shahi-Zinda mausoleums.
At night, visit the illuminated Registan Square and enjoy a completely different, magical appearance from the daytime view.
Using the high-speed train ensures smooth transfers from Tashkent.
Even with limited time, you can fully enjoy the longed-for "blue city."
Not just blue architecture — into the great nature of the Tien Shan
Leave the city for a day trip to the Chimgan area in the southwestern Tien Shan mountains.
At Amirsoy, take a lift to the summit and savor panoramic views over the majestic mountains and valleys.
You will also stop by the Charvak Reservoir area to enjoy the refreshing scenery where mountains and lake combine.
Discover an unexpected side of Uzbekistan beyond its historic cities.
Choose your Tashkent hotel to suit your tastes
Accommodation in Tashkent is intentionally not included in the tour price so that you can freely arrange your own hotel.
You can choose a place that fits your travel style based on location, price, and the hotel's atmosphere.
While sightseeing and transfers are securely arranged, only the accommodation reflects your personal preferences.
Rather than leaving everything to the tour operator, you can enjoy a trip with freedom tailored to your tastes.
