About this experience
Just 90 km from Samarkand, the blooming Shakhrisabz is spread out. You will see its architectural treasures - palaces, mausoleums, mosques - and hear a lot of interesting stories about Tamerlane. After all, it is here that he was born and raised. In addition, along the way, I will show you mountain valleys and the Devil's Plateau with whimsical stone boulders.
What to expect
Devil's Plateau
We will drive through majestic mountain gorges and panoramic passes of the Karateghin Range. We will climb to its highest point, Takhta-Karacha, and enjoy views of relief rocks and fertile valleys. And I will show you the Devil's Plateau - a mysterious place with gigantic stone sculptures of whimsical shapes - and share versions of its origin.
Ancient Shakhrisabz
This is the city where the great Tamerlane was born. You will hear heroic stories and legends associated with him. You will also see the ruins of his luxurious Ak-Saray palace and the Dorus Saodat complex, where the tombs of two of his sons are kept. In addition, visit the mausoleum of Dorus Tilovat - it houses the spiritual mentor of Timur and his father.
