Fascinating journey for foodies!

Uzbek cuisine is perhaps one of the most diverse in the whole Orient! Over hundreds of years, Uzbekistan, located on the trade caravan trails of the Great Silk Road, played host to traders from East and West, who brought with them the tastes from their native lands and shared with local people the best-kept culinary secrets. Thus Uzbek cuisine evolved from a multitude of influences and acquired new dishes, which with the lapse of time has virtually become national Uzbek dishes.
Each dish has its own history, traditions and culinary techniques. The most well-known and favourite Uzbek dish and its staple food is undoubtedly pilov. Just think: there are about thousand recipes of this dish. You will have opportunity to sample pilov of Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Fergana and Tashkent, and to decide which one is the most delicious. The pilov is considered a trivial and at the same time a festive dish. Neither national holiday nor birthday party or social occasion can go without it!
Besides pilov, there is a huge list of other no less exotic dishes. The tour is designed to give you the exclusive experiences that best capture the unique food and culinary traditions of Uzbek and Kyrgyz, Tajik and Georgian, Armenian and Chinese, Russian and Korean cuisines. In addition you will be enchanted by the sweet aroma of juicy fruits tempting everyone to taste them. It is not without reason that Uzbekistan is often called the country of fruits! And abundance of the national sweeties will gladden anyone who has sweet tooth.
With the focus on Oriental gastronomy, this tour will give you an opportunity to immerse yourself in Uzbekistan’s rich history and culture, to learn about treasured architecture of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva – the fabled cities still keeping the memory of Tamerlane, Alexander the Great, Genghis-khan, and many trade caravans of the Great Silk Road. Tall elegant minarets, grandiose madrassahs and mosques will be branded in your mind for long. But first of all, this travel will be appreciated by gourmets. Open for yourself the world full of oriental delicacies!
