Backpacking in Uzbekistan in 8 Days- My Suggested Itinerary
Day 5
City: Khiva
Morning&Afternoon: The Old Town
*I didn’t stay in Khiva overnight but I felt it was a shame that I didn’t. I felt it would be really worthwhile to stay overnight in Khiva and catch the night train the next afternoon back to Tashkent.
Day 6
City: Khiva-Tashkent
Afternoon: Night Train back to Tashkent
Day 7
City: Tashkent
Morning: Getting a ticket from Ilkhom Theatre or Navoi Opera Theatre
Afternoon: Independence Square
Evening: Hang out with locals (if no show in the evening)
*I didn’t have more visits to mausoleums as by Day 7 I felt I’ve seen the best of Uzbekistan already! And it was fun to take metro (it exists in Tashkent!) and enjoy the culture. My friend even got her haircut there, which was so cool!
Day 8
City: Tashkent
Morning: Chorsu Market& Last souvenir shopping!
Afternoon: Leaving for airport
Extra Day
Check out “The Lake People in Tashkent Talk About- Charvak Reservoir” but if you don’t have an extra day, don’t swap any day above for Charvak Reservoir.
