Guided Tour To Old Fortresses

9.Guided Tour To Old Fortresses

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 25 reviews · from $88

Guided trip from Khiva to three desert fortresses, with English guide, hilltop views, and photo stops, plus a somsa snack on the way back.

“Sukhrab speaks excellent English with very little accent and is a Khiva native so was able to explain living in Khiva and its customs as well as the history of the fortresses. The car trip (about 2 hrs each way) to the fortresses was comfortable, with airconditioning. The outside temperature was 34 degrees but felt like 28 because there was a brisk wind. Activity is moderate exertion rather than low exertion, but we managed it quite easily despite one of us having a normal fitness level of only 5 km walk on flat ground. Sukhrab took it at our pace, and if a short rest was needed, he would tell…”

Travel Khiva to the Aral Sea for 1.5 days with Muynak’s Cemetery of Ships, Ustyurt canyons, and a night in a yurt under star-filled skies.

“Dire che è stata un’esperienza ‘oltre le aspettative’ è quasi riduttivo. Il paesaggio, le persone e l’atmosfera sono stati così coinvolgenti da farmi sentire parte della storia del luogo, pur nella consapevolezza dei cambiamenti avvenuti nel tempo. Cultura, arte, ambiente e tradizioni: tutto questo prende vita lungo il tour, che senza Islom sarebbe stato certamente meno divertente e immersivo. Islom è una guida attenta, professionale, gentile e curiosa. Grazie a lui abbiamo scoperto aspetti inediti della storia e della vita quotidiana del Karakalpakstan, sentendoci sempre al sicuro e accompagnati da una persona affidabile e umanamente straordinaria. Ho apprezzato molto anche la possibilità d...”
