Tour Details

The valley of makers

The Fergana Valley is Uzbekistan’s most fertile and most traditional region. Here silk is still woven by hand in Margilan, potters in Rishtan paint their famous blue ceramics, and the Khudoyar Khan palace in Kokand recalls the valley’s last kingdom.

We cross the Kamchik pass by car and stay in comfortable hotels and family guesthouses. A great add-on before or after a classic Silk Road tour.
