Enjoy the natural beauty of the Tian Shan Mountains at Mount Chimgan, and visit places connected to Japan, such as the Navoi Theater, built by Japanese workers. This journey offers a wide variety of experiences.
A Japanese-speaking guide accompanies you throughout the trip, and travel by Afrosiyob high-speed train and private vehicle makes for a safe and comfortable journey.
