Unique Tours in Samarkand

Cultural Treasures Of The Silk Road

An unforgettable trip

With the help of Nodir, a formidable guide, we structured an eleven-day trip, two of which were in Tajikistan in the seven lakes area. The entire organization was impeccable both regarding the choice of hotels and the attention to detail for transfers and visits. Nodir was not only an exceptional guide but also a precious travel companion, attentive to all needs but at the same time discreet and respectful. The means of transport were excellent, and the drivers who took turns throughout the trip were attentive. The accuracy of the organization made a trip that was born from a long-held desire even more unforgettable, and it allowed us to get to know an affable, hospitable people with a profound culture.

Tour in Central Asia Five Stan’s

Great experience in Central Asia visiting the Five Stans. The photos speak.

You need at least a month to visit the Five Stans. Also, you should bring about $1,000 in U.S. Dollars in a mix of 20's, 10's, 5's and 1's. All should be new with no tears, no ink stamps, and a minimum of folds. Bring a Visa credit card with a PIN and a Visa marked debit card to withdraw cash. Turkmenistan is the most difficult and you need a tour operator to help you with your visa as it still requires a letter of invitation. Must see sites: Samarkand, Bukara, Khiva, Tashkent, Kokand and Fergana in Uzbekistan; Osh, Bishkek, Cholpon Ata (Issyk Kul Lake), and Karakol in Kyrgyzstan; Dushanbe, Hisor, Panjakent, and Seven Lakes in Tajikistan; Almaty, Shymbulak and Astana in Kazakhstan; Ashgabat, Darvaza, and Mary in Turkmenistan. We used Advantour in Uzbekistan and they provided guides and drivers who met us at all the important places. We used a mix of air, train and car travel. Early spring (April) seems to be the best time. Plenty of snow in the mountains and not too hot in the deserts.

Samarkand: Tajikistan Seven lakes Day trip with lunch

Amazing day at the Seven Lakes!

We had a fantastic 1-day tour from Samarkand to the Seven Lakes in Tajikistan. Our guide, Murod, was excellent, very helpful, professional, and knew all the best spots for views. We didn't make it to the 7th lake (not possible at winter), but the 6th lake was beautiful and a highlight of the trip. Murod also took some great photos of us throughout the day, which is greatly appreciated! He took us to a local restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious, authentic Tajik dish. If you're looking for a smooth and memorable trip to Tajikistan, I highly recommend booking with Murod!
