iExplore Central Asia: The Silk Road

Tour Description

The region known loosely as Central Asia is a vast arena of desert, steppe and knotted mountain ranges. For more than 2000 years, this area has been the site of ancient east-west trade routes collectively known as the Silk Road. This was no single road, but rather a fragile network of intercontinental caravan tracks that traversed some of the highest mountains and harshest deserts on earth.

Much of Kazakhstan still looks the way it did when Genghis Khan and his hordes swept across the Central Asian steppes: vast, desolate and empty. The chief exceptions to this are the cosmopolitan city of Almaty, and the spectacular spurs of the Tian Shan and Altai mountains on the country's southern and eastern borders.

Kyrgyzstan, officially known as the Kyrgyz Republic, is a newly independent nation in Central Asia undergoing profound political and economic change. It contains the central Tian Shan and Pamir Alay ranges, Central Asia's finest mountains, and maintains many nomadic traditions, most notably its laid-back hospitality.

Uzbekistan, in the ancient cradle between the Amu-Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the most historically fascinating of the Central Asian republics. Within it are some of the oldest towns in the world, some of the Silk Road's main centers and most of the region's architectural splendors. The signature Central Asian Islamic architecture is the main draw: tall, arched portals, bulbous turquoise-blue domes, minarets resembling smokestacks or lighthouses - all covered in beautiful tile.

Turkmenistan is sparsely populated and its people, the Turkmen, are only a generation or two removed from being nomads. It's the second largest Central Asian country (after Kazakhstan), but four-fifths of it consists of a lunar-like desert called the Karakum, which conceals unexploited oil and gas deposits.

Itinerary

Day 01: Arrive Almaty, Kazakhstan

Arrive Almaty International Airport. Upon clearing Customs and Immigration, you are met by an iExplore Representative and transferred to your hotel for check-in.

Located in downtown Almaty, the five star InterContinental is beautifully appointed with a grand atrium entryway. Rooms have a mini-bar, air conditioning and satellite TV. Multiple restaurants on the property serve everything from Chinese to Turkish cuisine and the French inspired Belvedere Grill with its rooftop-dining terrace is known as one of the best restaurants in the city. A Turkish bath is available at the onsite spa along with an indoor pool, tennis courts and golf courses.

InterContinental Almaty

Day 02: Almaty

This morning at 9:00 please meet your guide in the hotel lobby to begin a private full day sightseeing tour.

City tour: Spread out at the foothills of the Zaili Alatau Mountains in the Tien Shan range, Almaty is the largest city in Central Asia's richest country, Kazakhstan. Present day Almaty sits on the site of an old Silk Road oasis town called Almatu; laid waste by the Mongols in 1211, the city left no ancient remains. Almaty's name means "the place with apples", and the many varieties of apple in the vicinity give scientists' reason to believe this is where apples were first domesticated. Today the city is thriving on the considerable foreign investment it has attracted, primarily in the oil and gas industries.

Breakfast, Lunch

InterContinental Almaty

Day 03: Almaty- Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

Meet your local guide in the hotel lobby at 9:00am for your transfer to Bishkek. The journey will take about 5 hours, including border-crossing formalities. When you arrive, enjoy a half-day private city tour of Bishkek.

The capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek was founded as the Russian garrison of Pishpek. The city is set before a backdrop of the northern edge of the Ala- Too Mountain range, and was originally a heavily forested rest stop on the Silk Road. Appropriated by the Russians in 1877, the city was eventually renamed Bishkek when Kyrgyzstan achieved its independence at the break up of the Soviet Union. Two rivers, the Alamedin and Ala- Archa, run from the mountains through the city into the Chuy River, which also forms the Kazakh border. Bishkek is graced with large boulevards, friendly people and more trees than any other Central Asian city. On clear days, the permanently snowcapped mountains looming over the city provide spectacular views.

An exploration of Bishkek includes visits to the Main Square, Al-Too, Fine Arts Museum, Frunze House Museum, Oak Park, an open picture gallery, the Central Department Store, handicraft vendors and the Osh Bazaar.

You'll stay at the Hyatt Regency Bishkek. This five star hotel was built in 2001 and is located in the center of the city close to the Opera House and the Fine Arts Museum. Amenities include a swimming pool and a restaurant with a western-style buffet breakfast. All rooms feature satellite TV, mini-bar and private bath.

Breakfast, Lunch

Hyatt Regency Bishkek

Day 04: Bishkek- Issyk-Kul- Bishkek

At 9:00am you will be met in the hotel lobby by the local guide to begin your full day tour.

Excursion to Issyk-Kul: Issyk-Kul means "warm lake", which refers to the fact that it never freezes, despite its high elevation. It is considered to be the world's second-largest (in area) Alpine lake, after Lake Titicaca in South America. Archaeological discoveries from the lakes bottom include ancient relics and graves dating back to the first millennium BC.

Burana Tower and museum tour: Built in the 11th century, it is one of the only existing watchtowers on the ancient Silk Road that traversed Kyrgyzstan. It is possible to climb up to the platform from inside the tower- while the steps are steep, the view from top is rewarding. The area was historically a settlement called Balasagun, the birthplace of the poet Jusup Balasagun, whose surviving work consists of a long didactic poem cast in epic lines called "Kutagy Bilig" of "the knowledge which brings happiness." The settlement was an important seat of power, and was so celebrated that Genghis Khan's Mongol horde spared the city from destruction when it began to conquer the region in the early 13th century. The Mongols renamed the city Gobalik, meaning "good city." Visit the small museum and the collection of ancient bal-bals, carved stone figures used as monuments.

Day 05: Bishkek- Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Today you will be met in the hotel lobby by a local driver and taken to the airport for your flight to Tashkent. When you arrive you will be taken to the hotel for check in and then later in the afternoon, meet your local guide in the lobby to begin a half-day introductory tour of Tashkent.

The InterContinental Hotel is a lovely property in the heart of Tashkent, within walking distance of the main business and shopping districts. All rooms feature satellite TV, mini-bar and private bath. The hotel has three restaurants specializing in international cuisine, two bars, an international business center, and health club, pool, sauna and gift shop.

Day 06: Tashkent

At 9:00am you will be met in the hotel lobby by the local guide to begin your full-day tour.

Your city tour includes visits to the Alisher Navoi Opera and Ballet Theater, the Shahid memorial Complex, the Courage Museum and Independence Square.

Alisher Navoi, who lived and wrote at the end of the 15th century, is Uzbekistan's most beloved poet. The Navoi Opera and Ballet Theater was built in 1947 by Japanese prisoners of war, and includes six foyers representing the main cities of Uzbekistan. Each foyer is decorated differently, using carved and painted plaster (ganche), woodcarvings and frescoes. The repertoire of the theater includes Uzbek music and dance, and international opera and ballets.

The Shahid memorial Complex honors the innocent martyrs (shahid) who were killed during Stalin's purges in 1938. The blue domed rotunda and cooling fountain that mark their graves are set in the midst of a green area with a canal running through it.

Tashkent is built in a seismically active area, and has suffered from earthquakes all during its history. In April 1966, a 7.5 quake destroyed the homes of 300,000 people, hitting the older sections of the city hardest. The Courage Monument was built near the dividing line between the old town and Tashkent's newer section to honor the workers from all over the Soviet Union that came to Tashkent to help rebuild the city.

The history of Independence Square (Mustakillik Maydoni) is revealed in the different names it has borne throughout its existence. First named Cathedral Square in honor of the Orthodox Cathedral built here by Konstantin Kaufman, the first Russian Governor-General of Turkestan, it became Red Square in 1917. In 1966 it was designated Lenin Square, and it was not until 1992 that it became Independence Square.

Chorsu Bazaar: On the Chorsu Plaza across from the Kukeldash Madrassah, Chorsu Bazaar spills out of the tiled dome that shades its merchants from the sun. Open every day, the bazaar is at its most exhilarating on weekends when traders and shoppers come in from the outlying areas to buy and sell anything from spices and produce to woodwork and embroidery.

Museum of Applied Arts: A wealthy czarist diplomat to Turkestan, Alexander Polovstev, admiring Uzbek architecture, built a traditional mansion in 1898, inviting artisans from Samarkand, Bukhara and Fergana to decorate the interior. Featuring the painted carved plaster called ganche, carved wood and tile work, the house itself is a main attraction. Exhibits include the Uzbek embroidered wall coverings called suzani, ceramics, jewelry, rugs and musical instruments.

Breakfast, Lunch

Intercontinental Hotel Tashkent

Day 07: Tashkent- Samarkand

At 9:00am you will be met in the hotel lobby by the local driver and you will be transferred to Samarkand. The drive will take about 5 hours.

Please note that your transfers between cities will be via a private car and driver only. No escort guide is included. During touring days, local guides from each city will conduct the sightseeing for you.

Upon arrival you will be taken to the hotel for check-in. Opened in 2008, the new four-star Asia Samarkand has a perfect location just across the street from the Registan. The two-story brick hotel is nicely decorated and features air conditioning, a restaurant, nightclub, pool, sauna, fitness club and Wi-Fi access.

Then, at 3:00 this afternoon, meet your local guide in the lobby to begin a half-day tour of Samarkand.

Registan Square is the centerpiece of Samarkand, and the most recognizable landmark for visitors. The three emblematic madrassahs frame the square, and loom over the empty space in the center. It was this central space that originally gave the place its name, for "Registan" simply means "place of sand." This sandy place was at the center of ancient Samarkand and was a public square and marketplace before the other madrassahs were built. In its reconstruction, the square maintains the majesty that it has radiated through the ages.

The Gur-Emir Mausoleum is the final resting place of Tamerlane, but was originally built for his grandson after the latter's death, at the turn of the 15th century. The interior of the mausoleum has been restored and is brilliant in gold leaf and fresh tile. The heavily gilded central dome opens over the set of tomb-markers resembling sarcophagi (the bodies are located well below, but are on site). All are marble, with the exception of Tamerlane's, which is a slab of solid jade reportedly from Mongolia.

Breakfast, Lunch

Asia Samarkand Hote

Day 08: Samarkand

Please meet your local guide in the hotel lobby to depart for a full-day private sightseeing tour of Samarkand. You will visit....

Bibi Khanum Mosque: built by Tamerlane to be the largest mosque in the Islamic world and dedicated to the memory of his favorite wife. Architects from India and Persia were brought in to build the mosque, and it is said that 95 elephants were used to transport the marble and other building materials from India to Samarkand.

Afrosiab History Museum: Just outside modern day Samarkand lies the dusty hills of the ancient city of Afrosiab, once a potent capital, now an archaeological site guarding treasures of antiquity. Scientific digs began in the 1800s under Russian rule, and continue to this day. On the site is the Afrosiab History Museum, which houses artifacts from the area, including pottery and tile found among the excavated walls of the town.

Shah-I- Zinde Complex: The row of tombs and mausoleums collectively called Shah-I-Zinde, or "place of a living king, " stretches between the present and the past. At its front is living Samarkand, and at its back the dusty slopes at the edge of ancient Afrosiab. Even on hot summer days the mausoleums remain shady and cool, and seem to lure the traveler to approach the oldest tomb at the far end. Behind the complex and set into the hills lie an active cemetery with gravesites dating back as far as the 9th century, and as recent as the present day.

Papermaking workshop: Visit a workshop where handcrafted paper is made according to traditions handed down from the 8th century, when papermaking began in Samarkand. Founded in 1997 with support of UNESCO, the workshop produces lovely paper crafts and stationery as you watch.

Browse the Syab Bazaar, just across the street from the Bibi Khanum Mosque. Vividly dressed women oversee neat stacks of brilliant produce and burlap sacks of nuts and spices. Uzbek and Tajik men in black and white skullcaps, called doppe, sell cabbage rolls and shashlik. For a pittance, an entrepreneur with a brazier of special incense will cleanse you of all bad luck.

Ulug Bek Observatory: Though concerned with conquest, politics and other matters of terrestrial importance, Tamerlane's grandson Ulug Bek found his true interest in the heavens. The astronomer-king was fascinated by the stars and the cosmos and built one of the most advanced observatories of the ancient world. The observations, which he undertook with only the naked eye, predated the telescope by over 150 years. They were aided by the building itself, which housed a vertical half-circle, only a quarter of which remains today. By using careful methods, rigorous observation and meticulous recording, Ulug Bek calculated the length of the year to within a minute of the modern accepted value. He also created the most comprehensive (to that date) catalog of the heavens, earning his place in history.

Breakfast, Lunch

Asia Samarkand Hotel

Day 09: Samarkand- Gijduvan- Bukhara

Today you will be transferred by private car from Samarkand to Bukhara, stopping en route in Gijduvan to tour a Ceramics Artisan Family Workshop. The drive from Samarkand to Gijduvan is about 4 hours.

Pay a visit to the ceramics workshop of the Narzulayev family, some of the most renowned ceramicists in Uzbekistan. Their Gijduvan-school ceramics are characterized by the use of flower ornamentation and natural colors, with an emphasis on greens and browns. Tour the kilns and the studio, and enjoy a meal in the showroom, where glowing handmade ceramic plates and bowls are on display.

After your visit you will continue on to Bukhara- about a 1-hour journey. When you arrive you will be taken to the Sasha & Son B&B. This charming property is more a boutique hotel than a B&B, and is decorated in the national style. Fashioned from several old Jewish merchant houses, it contains high ceilings, exposed beams and beautifully decorated niches. All rooms have private toilet and shower and are air conditioned with satellite TV, Wi-Fi and minibar. The rooms surround a lovely courtyard garden.

Breakfast, Lunch

Sasha & Son Bed & Breakfast

Day 10: Bukhara

Meet your local guide in the lobby at 9:00 this morning to depart for a full-day tour of Bukhara. On this introductory tour you will visit...

Lyabi-Hauz Ensemble: With the feel of a true oasis in an oasis town, the Lyabi-Hauz plaza is at the center of Bukhara's old town and is- as it has been throughout history- a place to meet friends, to eat, to drink and relax in the shade. The atmosphere is cooled by a long rectangular reflecting pool that makes up the center of the plaza, and by the shade of the trees that ring the plaza. The mulberry trees here are hundreds of years old and frame the 16th and 17th century madrassahs that make up three of the four edges of the ensemble.

Samani Mausoleum: In a clearing in a tree filled park a small plaza is marked with a single building, the Ismael Samani Mausoleum. It is the 10th century resting place of Ismael Samani, founder of the Persian Samanid Dynasty, and was buried under centuries of sand and not discovered until the 20th century. Though small, it is detailed in a fashion not seen in other Bukharan monuments. More than 16 styles of brickwork adorn the face of this cubic memorial and their elaborate pleats and layering are still fresh today. From inside, the transition from square walls to circular roof, created using bricks of identical size and shape, testifies to the engineering know-how of the designers. Walk three times around the mausoleum to have a wish come true!

Ark Citadel: The Ark Citadel is the original fortress of Bukhara and likely dates back two thousand years or more. The current structure has been built and rebuilt on the same site throughout its history, and has preserved something of the form, purpose and function of the first Ark. Like the medieval castle complexes of Europe, the Bukhara Ark served the Emirs of Bukhara as a residence, audience hall, as protection from neighboring enemies and for more mundane purposes, such as a trade center and a police station.

Chashma Ayub Mausoleum: The Chashma Ayub Mausoleum is not a true mausoleum, but a qadamdjoy, or site visited by a holy person. The Koranic prophet, Ayub- the biblical prophet, Job- reportedly struck the ground with his staff here, and water immediately bubbled up from a spring. The oldest part of this multi-domed building was probably built in the 12th century. Under its many roofs are the sacred spring and the Water Supply History Museum of Bukhara.

Zindan Prison: Just behind the Ark is the infamous Zindan Prison and the even more infamous "bug pit" or "black hole", the cell where two of Britain's finest great game players were imprisoned before their execution.

Kalon Mosque and Minaret: Visit Poi Kalon, also called the Bukhara Forum. The 12th century Kalon assembly, including the Kalon Mosque and Minaret, and the Mir-I-Arab Madrassah, surrounds an open plaza teeming with merchants and local vendors. The minaret towers over the dusty square from a height of more than 150 feet, and casting its shadow between the mosque and the madrassah. 14 distinct and unique bands of brickwork circle the tower at intervals and at the top of the minaret resolve into a traditional stalactite formation.

Visit Bukhara's old Jewish Quarter, in the heart of Old Town, where in the mid 19th century 2,500 families of prosperous merchants were estimated to have been living. Cut off in the 15th century from contact with other Jews, the Bukharan Jews developed their own dialect of the Tajik-Persian language that incorporates many Hebrew words, their own style of dress and their own unique form of Judaism.

Breakfast, Lunch

Sasha & Son B&B

Day 11: Bukhara- Khiva

Meet your local driver in the hotel lobby this morning and you will be taken to Khiva. The drive from Bukhara to Khiva is about 8 hours. When you arrive you will be taken to the hotel for check in, then later meet your guide in the lobby for an introductory tour of Khiva.

Located just outside of Ichon Qala and a two-minute walk from the city hall, Hotel Asia Khiva offers a beautiful lobby, a restaurant with its own bakery, bar, pool and sauna. All rooms are air-conditioned and have satellite TV, phone and minibar.

On your half-day private city tour, you will visit:

Ichon Qala (Inner City): Khiva's Old Town, a UNESCO World heritage Site, has been extensively preserved and restored, and exists today much as it did hundreds of years ago. Approaching the old town, modern day travelers face the same sight as Silk Road Caravans did, the dun-colored city walls, the main gate opening on a dusty stone thoroughfare, merchants hawking their wares from each side, and the distinctive minarets watching over the whole scene. The walled Old City was an independent entity and the seat of the Khanate of Khiva. The largest of the existing buildings is the Tash Hauli Palace, the home of the Khan and his four legal wives. The intricate blue and white tile work in the open-air throne room offsets the airy space set aside by the carved wooden columns.

Woodcarving is a traditional specialty of Khiva, and more wooden columns are found at the Dzhuma Mosque. The mosque is partially below ground level and the 115 carved columns that support the wooden ceiling create a forest-like affect around two square light wells.

The Kunya Ark was originally built in the 12th century as the khan's fortress and residence, and encompassed numerous small courtyards surrounded by administrative buildings, sleeping quarters, kitchens, guardhouses, stables, parade area and weapons strongholds. Much of it was lost when Persia invaded the Khivan Khanate in the 18th century, but what remains, including the mosque, harem and throne room are beautifully decorated with ceramic tiles and majolica.

There are several places that offer aerial views of the city, and from any 3rd or 4th story balcony the unique minarets with their blue-green tiling stand over the domes, mud-brick walls and quiet feel of this museum town.

Breakfast, Lunch

Asia Khiva Hotel

Day 12: Khiva- Tashauz- Ashkhabad

In the morning continue the tour of Khiva with a stop at the 9th century Dzhuma Mosque with an unusual wood ceiling and 115 carved wood columns, creating a forest-like effect. Also visit the Tash Hauli Palace, once the home of the khan and his four legal wives, and an open courtyard for enthroning the khans.

In the afternoon depart for the Turkmen border. The drive to the border takes a little over an hour. After the lengthy passport and custom procedures, enter Turkmenistan and drive to the city of Tashauz for the late afternoon flight to Ashkhabad.

Following the hour-long flight over the Kara Kum desert, arrive in Ashkhabad and transfer to the hotel.

The Grand Turkmen Hotel is centrally located near the administrative and shopping districts, the history and art museum and the Presidential Palace. This 5-star hotel features 120 comfortable guest rooms, an outdoor pool and a fitness center. Guests can also enjoy Turkmen, Turkish and international cuisines at the Silk Road restaurant, or relax with a drink at the Bosphorus Bar.

Breakfast, Lunch

Grand Turkmen Hotel

Day 13: Ashkhabad

Following breakfast at the hotel we depart on a city tour of Ashkhabad. In spite of its location on a trade route, Ashkhabad never achieved the status and influence of other Silk Route cities like Khiva or Bukhara. Originally known as Konjikala, the city was destroyed by Mongols in the 13th century. In 1881 the Russians built a fortress on the site as a buffer against English-dominated Persia, and by the early 20th century Ashkhabad was a prosperous and flourishing city. In 1948 a massive earthquake leveled Ashgabat, killing over two-thirds of the population. Recently Ashkhabad has seen a boom in new construction, which has had a major impact on the look of the city.

The city tour includes visits to the Lenin Monument, the new mosque and Turkmen-Turkish cultural and spiritual center, a local bazaar and the Berzenghee Settlement, from which one can enjoy great views of the surrounding Kopet-Dag Mountains. Also, visit the National Museum of History and Ethnography with its superb collection of carved ivory drinking horns from Nisa. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.

Breakfast, Lunch

Grand Turkmen Hotel

Day 14: Ashkhabad- Nisa- Ashkhabad

This morning drive to Nisa for a half-day exploration of the ruins of the Kingdom of Parthian Kings located 15 miles from the city of Ashkhabad, and set amidst beautiful views of the Kopet-Dag Mountains. One ruling dynasty replaced another at Nisa, until the 13th century when the Mongols arrived and laid siege to the city.

Tolkuchka Bazaar Tour: Spend some time at the Tolkuchka Bazaar, located about an hour's drive from the city center. The Tolkuchka is one of the most exciting open markets in Central Asia; its name means, literally translated, "a lot of elbowing." The huge market is brimming with all types of goods including traditionally patterned carpets and Turcomen jewelry.
