An enjoyable and varied insight into the culture and trekking opportunities in Uzbekistan

A combination of trekking and sight seeing taking in the main silk road cities and two ranges of mountains in Uzbekistan. Good four star hotels, good transport and excellent cultural guides. The homestays were an experience and were quite decent quality on the whole. Very well organised by Mountain Kingdoms and despite being full-on, very enjoyable. We took advantage of the extension trip to Fergana and were pleased we did.

Excellent, experienced company who go to great lengths to provide the best experience possible in some less well explored places. This is the third trip we have done with them and would highly recommend. We had a health incident on the trip and could not have had better back up service.

Amazing Adventure

Tour to Uzbekistan. Visited Tashkent, Khiva , Bukhara and Samarkand but also walked in the hills/ mountains staying in guesthouses rather than hotels which was a lovely respite from the crowds and city sightseeing. Very well organised trip

Fascinating and varied visit to Uzbekistan's treasures

We were blown away by the fascinating sights in Khiva, Bukhara & Samarkand. The spectacles just got better and better as we progressed, the Registan being the jewel in the crown. The Uzbek dishes served in the city restaurants followed a set pattern but were varied, the salads being a particular hit. Spending time in the quiet mountain regions away from the bustle of the tourist sites was a welcome contrast. We loved the homestays in Nuratau, ...

We were blown away by the fascinating sights in Khiva, Bukhara & Samarkand. The spectacles just got better and better as we progressed, the Registan being the jewel in the crown. The Uzbek dishes served in the city restaurants followed a set pattern but were varied, the salads being a particular hit. Spending time in the quiet mountain regions away from the bustle of the tourist sites was a welcome contrast. We loved the homestays in Nuratau, especially the creative home cooking. A great trip.

Rating for tour operator:

We met an enthusiastic rep at the Destinations Show, with whom we discussed various options for visiting the famous Silk Road sights in Uzbekistan. From that point on the contact with Mountain Kingdoms was always professional, helpful and friendly. Booking was straightforward and everything went very smoothly thereafter.

Thank you for your feedback and I am pleased to see you enjoyed Uzbekistan as much as I have on my visits to this country and also neighbouring 'stans.
