For those who love a little ancient history, a trip to Aydarkul and Sarmishsay is just about the best Uzbekistan tour possible. Sarmishsay has a unique petroglyph gallery, with over 10,000 stone carvings depicting scenes from daily life of the people who lived here long ago. Then head out to Aydarkul for a taste of nomadic life, with camel riding and a night in a yurt in the Kyzylkum Desert. Aydarkul Lake and Sarmishsay are conveniently located between Bukhara and Samarkand, so if you have some extra time, add on a city tour extension.
Tour itinerary:
Though meals are included, based on the experience and tips of our guests, we advise to take some food in advance, as there are no shops around yurts.
- Accommodation in the yurt camp hotel with full board (3 meals);
- Economy-class tickets for Tashkent-Navoi and Samarkand-Tashkent trains (on rare occasions when the high-speed train is unavailable, we will replace this with the most-comfortable class of regular train);
- Transportation throughout the tour, including airport/train station pick ups and drop offs.
- Tips are not included, but would be appreciated;
- Travel insurance.
