What to Expect
A Picturesque Journey
We will meet at your hotel and drive to a mountain village in Urgut. This place is famous for its chinara trees, or plane trees, whose age is over a thousand years. On the way and on the spot, you will admire beautiful landscapes: rocky mountains, spring streams, and magnificent flower fields. And we will tell you about this beautiful land.
Life in Uzbek Villages
In the village, we will visit the Mamatov family, whose head will show the most colorful places of the village, talk about local crafts - carpet weaving and tobacco production - as well as introduce you to the traditions and way of life of Urgut and explain their difference from other regions of Uzbekistan.
Spring in the Mountains
Then we will head to the tulip field at the foot of the mountain. Tulips do not grow as densely as poppies, but in any case, flowers in the mountains will be one of the brightest and freshest impressions of the trip to Uzbekistan! And then we will cook a national dish kazan-kebab together and have lunch in the company of the hospitable residents of this village.
