Is this trip right for you?
verified
As there are a couple of long travel days, plenty of time spent on your feet and days can be hot and dusty, you'll need to be reasonably fit to get the most out if this trip.
verified
The Central Asian diet relies heavily on meat-based dishes. Dietary restrictions, such as vegetarian and gluten free, are not well known in Uzbekistan, and may have very limited options.
verified
Our accommodation is all carefully selected, but keep in mind that the standard in Uzbekistan does not always live up to the Western expectations you might be used to. Rooms can be small, water pressure can be unreliable, and some amenities might not always be available.
verified
Winter weather in Uzbekistan is unpredictable with cold, sunny conditions as likely as rain or snow in certain locations. At this time of year, it is important you prepare for the various weather conditions you may encounter and to pack accordingly – plenty of layers, waterproofs and appropriate footwear.

My recent travel to Uzbekistan was the most memorable one. It was the love on the first sight. It’s rich history, people, cities, countryside, food…. I could write pages about all of that. Having an amazing and knowledgeable guide as my group of 9 had, was such a huge treat. Thanks to Shah and Intrepid for making my travel through Uzbekistan such a special one.

This was our twelfth Intrepid trip in the past fifteen years and undoubtedly one of the best. Uzbekistan was a delightful surprise. We were expecting an arid country, still developing. Instead, a fertile land with excellent infrastructure. Our leader, Zafar, was exceptional. The history and culture were amazing!

Excellent tour. Uzbekistan was beautiful and really easy to get around. Well organised and enough time in each city. Interesting included trips . Felt safe wandering around on my own on day after trip finished. Our Tour leader Lochin went above & beyond. He was very knowledgeable and I’d thoroughly recommend the trip. Also very cheap to eat out and travel around
