Travel story
In Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand you'll have plenty of free time to explore at your own pace and enjoy wandering the streets.
You can take your time admiring buildings that catch your eye, browse the bazaars, and spend the day however you feel.
At Ayaz-Kala and Toprak-Kala, visit ancient fortresses standing in the wilderness to experience the history of the Silk Road.
In the second half, travel from Charyn Canyon to Kaindy Lake and Kolsai Lakes to tour Kazakhstan’s majestic nature.
Free in the cities, dramatic in the great outdoors — this plan offers a varied and lively 12-day experience.
Signature points
Enjoy your own time in the ancient cities
In Bukhara and Samarkand, we intentionally leave the schedule light and allow ample free time.
You can linger over buildings that interest you, shop at the bazaars, or relax in a café.
Rather than strictly following a set route, you can enjoy exploring the city in a way that suits you.
The high degree of freedom lets you fulfill the wish of "I want to stay here a little longer."
Not just the blue cities — ancient fortresses sleeping in the wilderness
From Khiva, we extend the route to visit Ayaz-Kala and Toprak-Kala as well.
The sight of ancient fortresses remaining in the vast wilderness is a world entirely different from the glorious Samarkand.
This itinerary lets you touch not only the beautiful Silk Road architecture but also the deeper layers of history behind it.
It’s not just the typical sightseeing — you can experience a slightly deeper side of Central Asia.
In the latter half, enter a world of canyons and mysterious lakes
In the second half the scenery changes dramatically as you head to the vast landscapes of Charyn Canyon and the Black Canyon.
You’ll also visit Kaindy Lake and the Kolsai Lakes to fully enjoy the beautiful lake scenery surrounded by mountains and forests.
From historic cities to wilderness, deep canyons, and mountain lakes, the ever-changing scenery day by day is a highlight unique to this trip.
