Uzbekistan Quick Guide

Have you been looking for a Uzbekistan travel guide before? Well, you have come to the right place. You can find all types of information and reviews, from the best tourist destinations to hot spots and activities in Uzbekistan. Below is your complete list of destinations, with brief descriptions of each destination.

The capital of Uzbekistan, Samarkand is a large town in north-western Uzbekistan. It is well known for the many mosques, monuments and cultural sites related to the Silk Road, including the imposing Majid Monastery. This is a must-see for all travellers visiting Samarkand and other parts of Uzbekistan. It is also a good location for travellers travelling through the Pamir Mountains to reach the Pamir; it has a train station that connects Samarkand with the rest of the Pamir Mountains via the famous route of Oktai. A visit to Samarkand and the surrounding areas is strongly advised during your Uzbekistan Travel Guide.

Another interesting stop on a Uzbekistan travel guide is Kazatlan. It is the capital of the Uzbekistan region, and an important cultural and historic centre as well. It is also a very popular tourist spot, and a centre of foreign trade. You will find fine art galleries, museums, beautiful gardens and a large number of hotels and guest houses along Kazatlan's main street. There are also some lovely sandy beaches in Mazatlan, all just steps away from the seafront.

A typical Uzbekistan Travel Guide would not be complete without a mention of the diverse, colourful and tasty marshrutka a type of open round bread filled with meat (usually beef or sheep) that is popular all over Uzbekistan. Marshrutka is cooked in a traditional Uzbek way, by slow deep frying it in hot oil. In the south of the country you can find excellent round rugs (called "karavai") that are the national dish of Uzbekistan and are widely available at the market stalls around Uruzgan. They are a delicious snack to have when relaxing around a pool in the spring.

The capital city of Tashkent is another interesting place to check out while travelling throughout Uzbekistan. It is a great base to explore and photograph the sights of the silk road. Some travellers starting their journey in Tashkent, head on to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, a spectacular city with a spectacular old town and impressive architectural designs. From Ulaanbaatar, tourists can continue to Karaganda, where the capital of Uzbekistan, along with several other cities and towns, are located. While travelling through Uzbekistan, you should also make sure to take a few days off to go to Mysore, the capital of Sikkim, India.

While there you should make it a point to visit the Azovskoy river, on which the old Roman Catholic Cathedral is located. It is a must see! Other worthwhile destinations in Uzbekistan include the Kairat Mountain, where you can go trekking; the Ovorkent factory which are headquarters to one of the largest textile empires in the world, and the Sheykonyak-Kovrov straight, which are a great hiking trail. While you are travelling through Uzbekistan security will always be an issue, but you can take some measures to protect yourself.

Before you leave for your journey, you should contact the concerned ministry of foreign affairs to confirm that you will be entering u Uzbekistan via an organized traveller's visa. The only exception to this rule is if your only reason for visiting the country is to get to work in Tashkent or further up the coast. If this is the case you will need to get a visa in advance of your arrival date. Failure to do so will result in a long wait until your paperwork is processed.

There are three main international airports in Uzbekistan Tashkent, Ashgabat and Muktamur. From the airport you can travel to any city in Uzbekistan either by road foot or coach. Road travelling is usually the preferred route as it allows you to avoid the large cities and longer journey times associated with bus or train fares. Foot and coach travel can be faster, but can require more legwork and is often a more expensive route. For most of the country, buses and trains are the most convenient means of travel between Ashgabat and Tashkent. From Ashgabat, you can take a taxi to reach your hotel and for those travelling via bus, either en-route or within the capital you can catch a taxi at the Dushanbe airport and continue to your hotel.
