8 Ways to Savor Silk Road Culture With the Locals in Uzbekistan

8 Ways to Savor Silk Road Culture With the Locals in Uzbekistan

MIR Corporation / April 12, 2017
Central Asia

If you can travel to only one country in Central Asia, it should be Uzbekistan. Centered at the heart of the Silk Road, this exotic nation has been the region's cradle of culture for well over two millennia, laying claim to three of the most renowned caravan cities — Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. Uzbeks are famous for their strong code of hospitality, and despite modern changes, people here have held fast to traditions that have changed little throughout the centuries. Here's just a few of our favorite ways to connect with Uzbekistan's down-to-earth locals and savor a slice of real Silk Road culture. Read More

Traveler Reviews

Luxury Travel Magazine has included two of MIR’s tours in an article entitled, 10 Great Adventure Foodie Tours. Citing a 2015 survey initiated by The Adventure Travel Trade Association, the magazine found that food tourism blended with adventure tourism is a new trend. “Seventy-one percent of adventure travel itineraries now have an experiential food focus. Cooking classes and visits to wineries, breweries and distilleries ranked as the top requested activities as reported by tour operators and travel agents.”The article goes on to mention two of MIR’s tours as examples of this trend: A Taste of Georgia: An Epicurean Adventure Across Georgia’s Wine Country – Explore gorgeous Georgia on a culinary and cultural caravan that traverses a country entwined with grapevines, overflowing with wine and abounding in hospitality.A Chronicle of Russian Cuisine & Culture – This delectable journey, led by a passionate local foodie, lets you eat your way through Russia’s greatestaaa
