Travel story
This is a journey that lets you experience the depths of the Silk Road, touring the magnificent, gleaming blue architecture of Bukhara and Samarkand and the Ayaz-Kala ruins sleeping in the desert.
Using domestic flights and high-speed trains, you efficiently tour the famed cities of Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand.
Furthermore, you extend your trip across the border to the ancient Tajik city of Penjikent to experience Central Asian history in an immersive way.
Because a Japanese-speaking guide accompanies you, you can enjoy the complex transfers and historical background with peace of mind.
From ruins and blue tiles to bazaars, folk dance, and home cooking, this is an intense Central Asian journey that engages all five senses.
