Follow Uzbekistan’s Silk Road story over ten days in a small group of 6–12 people, with Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva arranged around confirmed connections.
The non-binding framework links the four cities in a logical sequence. The direction and mix of rail, road or domestic flight depend on international flights and ticket availability; no transport sector is guaranteed before the written proposal.
This programme is an example and is adapted to the travel dates, group composition and client preferences. The final route, availability, schedule, price and included services are confirmed in a tailored proposal.
