The Fergana Valley, spanning eastern Uzbekistan and parts of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, is a lush, fertile region famed for its rich traditions and vibrant culture. Known as the heartland of Central Asian crafts and textiles, it's particularly renowned for its exquisite silk production and intricate Ikat fabrics. The valley is dotted with numerous towns and villages, each with its own unique charm and historical significance. Rishtan is famous for its ceramics, while Margilan is a centre for silk production. The valley's picturesque landscapes, combined with its deep cultural heritage, make it a hub for those seeking to explore Central Asia's authentic and diverse character.
Venture into Margilan’s Yodgorlik, one of Central Asia's largest silk factories. This traditional factory offers a rare glimpse into the intricate process of silk-making. From silkworm cultivation to weaving vibrant ikat fabrics, observe artisans at work, preserving techniques passed down generations. The rhythmic hum of looms and the shimmer of fresh silk threads provide an immersive sensory experience, taking you deep into Uzbekistan's silk legacy.
Unearth the remnants of Aksikent, a city believed to be over 2,500 years old. Once a prominent Silk Road stop, it's now an archaeological marvel. Navigate through ancient streets, unearthing structures of palaces, temples, and bustling bazaars. Every brick and artifact tells tales of thriving trade, invasions, and cultural exchanges. Feel the echoes of the past as you tread on millennia-old grounds.
Rishtan, Fergana Valley’s pottery capital, boasts a ceramic tradition dating back over a thousand years. With its rich clay deposits and vibrant glazes, it's a hub for iconic blue and green pottery.

Embrace the opportunity to create your own ceramic piece, a tangible memory of Rishtan's artistic spirit.
This regal palace, once the epicentre of the Kokand Khanate, stands as a testament to the valley's opulent past. With its azure blue tiles, grand courtyards, and ornate interiors, the palace is an architectural gem. Explore its 19 surviving halls, each adorned with intricate mosaics, vivid murals, and carved wooden pillars. The surrounding gardens, bursting with roses and fountains, offer a tranquil retreat, reminiscent of royal grandeur.
Experience Fergana's pulse during the Baisun Spring Festival. A celebration of nature’s rebirth, this festival showcases the valley's rich traditions.
