Travel back in time to visit and stroll down the streets and back alleyways of the Silk Road cities of Samarqand, Nurata, and Bukhara. Spend a night in the cosy comfort of a traditional nomadic yurt (tent) erected in the middle of the vast Karakum Desert. Experience living in a traditional Kyrgyz village, get a taste of life and customs in the rural, peaceful and picturesque Ferghana Valley, and learn from the women of the household how to cook plov, a traditional rice and meat dish, over an open-air fire. Visit traditional Kyrgyz bazaars where produce, food, livestock and traditional garments are sold. Watch a match of Kok Boru, a traditional nomadic game played on horseback. Conclude the trip with a night in a tent under the stars by the pristine waters of Lake Papan. This lake, flanked by sky-reaching peaks, is one of the largest lakes in southern Kyrgyzstan.
