Follow a westward thread from Tashkent to the walled city of Khiva, with unhurried chapters in Samarkand and Bukhara. Ten days make room for the great monuments, ordinary moments and the longer journeys that connect them. Final routing follows your flights and available transport.

A journey that unfolds beautifully.

Day 1

A gentle arrival in Tashkent

Arrive, settle into your hotel and leave space to recover from the flight. If your arrival time allows, take an easy neighbourhood walk and enjoy a first Uzbek dinner.

Overnight: Tashkent
Day 2

Bazaars, courtyards & the city below

Explore Chorsu Bazaar and the old city with time for bread, spices and conversation. Continue through selected metro stations and the modern centre, adjusting the walking to your pace.

Overnight: Tashkent
Day 3

By rail to the blue domes

Travel to Samarkand on the train confirmed for your dates. After settling in, discover the Registan ensemble and Gur-e-Amir, with a relaxed evening to absorb the city.

Overnight: Samarkand
Day 4

Samarkand, beyond the postcard

Visit Shah-i-Zinda and Siab Bazaar before a quieter encounter with local craft in Konigil. The order of visits can be adjusted for light, opening times and your interests.

Overnight: Samarkand
Day 5

Towards the courtyards of Bukhara

Continue to Bukhara with the transport agreed in your itinerary. Settle into your accommodation, then walk around Lyabi-Hauz and the trading domes as the afternoon slows down.

Overnight: Bukhara
Day 6

A city made for wandering

Discover the Poi-Kalyan ensemble, the Ark and Bolo-Hauz. Balance the major sights with tea breaks, artisan workshops and time to enjoy Bukhara without a checklist.

Overnight: Bukhara

Across the desert to Khiva

A travel day links Bukhara and Khiva. Your proposal will specify the available train or road transfer, journey length and breaks; plan an easy evening after arrival.

Inside the walls of Ichan-Kala

Walk through Ichan-Kala, taking in Kalta Minor, carved wooden columns and intimate courtyards. Leave space for a Khorezmian meal and late-afternoon photographs.

Overnight: Khiva

Khorezm, at your pace

Choose another morning in Khiva or discuss an optional excursion to the ancient desert fortresses. A cooking session or craft encounter can be proposed instead; access and arrangements are checked for your dates.
