Overview
Visit one of the most popular destinations in Uzbekistan with this two-day tour to Fergana Valley. From 2016 travelers take the train ride to Fergana valley through the longest tunnel in Central Asia which is 21 km. On this tour you visit Margilan where the majority of silk is made in Uzbekistan, Rishtan city—famed for its blue-and-green ceramics and famous Kokand city.
• Travelers can see traditional methods of weaving along the Silk Road. One of the best-known places is in Margilan in the Fergana Valley, where visitors are welcome to tour in a small factory.
• You learn difference between artificial and real silk (Real silk is warmer to the touch, is more tightly woven and if you care to set fire to a piece, will turn into an ashen ball and smell like burning hair).
