This unforgettable 13-day tour takes you to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, two neighboring countries that were once part of the Silk Road.

Khujand and Istaravshan are historical centers, full of reminders of the time when the Silk Road ran through this region. Finish up back in Tashkent, the biggest city in Central Asia, and a modern metropolis.
