Combine hikes in Tajikistan’s Fann Mountains with the storied Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara on a guided journey enriched by local family meals and artisan encounters. Stay in locally owned, well-located properties throughout, including hotels in Dushanbe, Samarkand and Bukhara (such as Atlas, Rumi, Asia Samarkand and Iman/Modarixon). Nights in Iskandarkul and Panjakent are simpler with private bathrooms. Private rooms are generally available except at Iskandarkul; extra pre/post hotel nights can be arranged.
