Almaty to Tashkent – 13 Days
Journey through the heart of Central Asia on this immersive 13-day tour exploring the Silk Road legacy across Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Begin in Almaty, where leafy boulevards meet the dramatic peaks of the Tian Shan Mountains and gaze upon breathtaking scenery, from snow-capped mountains to vast desert regions. Discover petroglyphs, canyons, and glacial lakes before heading south to Shymkent and the ancient pilgrimage city of Turkestan. The Silk Road adventure begins as you step into the footsteps of nomads, traders, and conquerors who once passed through these crossroads of culture and commerce.
In Uzbekistan, delve into the architectural wonders of Bukhara and Samarkand, from mosaic-covered mosques to bustling bazaars. Experience the rich history of this ancient trade route as you wander through Tashkent’s Old Town, explore pottery villages and museums, and taste the rich cuisine shaped by centuries of cultural exchange. With expert guides, heritage hotels, and meaningful encounters, this journey brings the Silk Road’s vibrant past to life through cities, monuments, and natural beauty.
SILK ROAD CITIES OF BUKHARA & SAMARKAND: Wander through Bukhara’s ancient fortresses and Samarkand’s breathtaking Registan Square. These UNESCO World Heritage sites are among the most remarkable ancient cities along the Silk Road, renowned for their historical sites, ancient ruins, and well-preserved walled cities. Explore the old city districts, where you can visit Registan Square and marvel at Samarkand’s stunning Islamic architecture, including tiled domes, grand madrassas, and royal tombs. These historic cities, once vital Silk Road hubs, offer a deep look into Central Asia’s cultural legacy through stunning architecture, vibrant markets, and centuries of layered Islamic and Timurid history.
ALMATY & THE TIAN SHAN MOUNTAINS: Explore the cultural highlights and charm of Almaty before venturing into the nearby Tian Shan Mountains. Discover turquoise Big Almaty Lake, hike through Charyn Canyon’s surreal landscapes, and learn about nomadic traditions. This contrast of modern city life and untamed natural beauty offers a dynamic start to your Central Asian adventure.
UNESCO SITES & ANCIENT MONUMENTS: Visit the awe-inspiring Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan, the ancient city ruins of Otrar, and the Tamgaly petroglyphs. These UNESCO-listed sites reveal centuries of spiritual, political, and artistic achievement, reflecting the deep heritage of the Silk Road from Bronze Age art to Islamic architectural brilliance.
CULTURAL ENCOUNTERS & LOCAL TRADITIONS: Gain insight into everyday life through local interactions. Watch falconry demonstrations near Almaty, join a pottery workshop in Gijduvan, take a bread-making class in Samarkand, or embark on a walking tour for an immersive exploration of historic sites. These cultural experiences connect you with regional traditions, offering memorable moments beyond monuments and bringing the Silk Road’s living heritage to light.
The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.
