Bamboo Travel Launches Programme to Uzbekistan

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - March 18, 2025 - PRLog -- Award-winning independent Asia specialist Bamboo Travel has launched a new programme to Uzbekistan, with three suggested private tours ranging from 13 to 17 days in duration.

Comments Robin Ball, Director of Bamboo Travel: "Our decision to launch Uzbekistan ties in neatly with China's Belt & Road initiative.

"The launch is also in response to significant demand for trips to Uzbekistan from existing Bamboo clients. We are also keen to add a new destination that is significantly closer than many of the others we offer in Asia, which means lower costs, and a much shorter flight time of just over 7 hours."

Uzbekistan is situated at the crossroads of the world in the heart of Central Asia and is one of the jewels of the Ancient Silk Road which spanned over 4000 miles, and which played a central role in facilitating economic, cultural, political, and religious interactions between the Eastern and Western worlds.

The influences of all the cultures which have passed through over the millennia, are evident in the streets of Uzbekistan's towns and cities, in the faces of the people you pass, and in the food and wine that you experience along the way.

The main draw for travellers to Uzbekistan is the exceptionally well-preserved Silk Road architecture, particularly in the main highlights of Bukhara, Khiva, and Samarkand.

Uzbekistan is famous for the three Ms – Mosques, Minarets and Madrassahs, but for those who wish for a break from the history of the towns and cities, great hiking can be enjoyed in the Chimgan Mountains, staying overnight in a yurt in the Kyzyl-Kum Desert, to witness the fast-disappearing Aral Sea, or meet master craftspeople in the Fergana Valley.
