Travel through history from Nomadic tribes and Muslim preachers to Silk-route traders and Soviet spies.
We spend nine nights in standard hotels and one night in a basic yurt. The hotels are typically small and well located for our adventures, often close to the main sites and attractions. Below are the hotels we typically use:
Tashkent: Gabrielle Hotel or Milan Hotel (nights 1 and 10)
Khiva: Malika Khiva Hotel or Malika Kheivak (nights 2-3)
Bukhara: Kavsar Boutique Hotel or Kabir Hotel (nights 4-6)
Yurt camp: (night 7)
Samarkand: Dilshoda Hotel or Ideal Hotel (nights 8-9)
About our yurt camp: We stay in traditional yurts, which are spacious and comfortable. Kazakh nomads still use them today and our stay provides us with a chance to see what life was like on the Silk Road. The yurt has basic washing facilities with simple basins (water can be heated on request) but there are no showers. There will also be a toilet tent/basic outhouse and a dining yurt. You may have to share a yurt with more than one other person (three to four people to a yurt). While every effort is made to ensure men and women who are not travelling together don’t have to share a yurt, this cannot be guaranteed.
Worth knowing
If you would like your own room, a limited number of single supplements are available on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis – please request this at the time of booking. The single supplement is not available in the yurt camp (one night) and you may have to share with more than one other person on this night.
The hotels normally used are indicated within the itinerary; however, accommodation may differ from those stated depending on your departure date.
