The Cost of a Trip to Uzbekistan

A trip to Uzbekistan for one person usually costs between $3 and $12 per day and $6 to $23 for two people. This is a wide range of costs, and the daily average per person from our data is $7 (лB83,499) per person. This average includes food, accommodation, sightseeing, and local transportation expenses contributed from other travelers. Prices can vary based on travel style and activities. While the overall price for a trip to Uzbekistan is dependent on your personal travel style and the specific places you visit, if you book standard accommodation and travel with an average level of convenience, then your budget should be somewhere within this range.

Below you can find a breakdown of travel expenses by category, plus a comparison of guided tour costs versus traveling independently.

For budget travelers, planning to spend around $3 (лB37,406) per day should cover your essential expenses, including affordable accommodations like hostels and budget hotels, cost-effective meal options, local transportation, and affordable activities. For those with a mid-range budget, allocating around $7 (лB83,499) per day would allow for more comfortable hotels, dining at typical restaurants, and exploring a range of popular attractions. Luxury travelers, on the other hand, should anticipate a daily budget of $12 (лB147,801), which would encompass higher-end accommodations, dining at nicer restaurants, and indulging in private tour options.

You can see more details from our analysis about typical hostel prices in Uzbekistan here .

Should you do an organized tour or travel independently in Uzbekistan?

When planning a trip to Uzbekistan, there are two primary options to choose from: organized tours and independent travel. Organized tours offer a convenient and hassle-free experience, as all the details of your trip are handled by travel experts. Additionally, you'll have the benefit of an expert guide who can provide valuable insights and knowledge during your journey. This option is often favored by travelers who appreciate the convenience and ease it offers, with many tours providing transportation and expert guides to enhance the overall experience.

On the other hand, independent travel provides a different set of advantages. It offers a higher level of freedom and flexibility, allowing you to customize your itinerary and explore at your own pace. This option appeals to travelers who value the ability to make spontaneous decisions and have more control over their travel plans. The independence of traveling on your own can provide a sense of adventure and the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture on a deeper level.

Ultimately, the choice between organized tours and independent travel depends on your personal preferences and travel style. Consider your desired level of convenience, the amount of guidance you prefer, and the level of flexibility you seek when making your decision. Both options have their own merits, and the decision should be based on what aligns best with your travel goals and preferences.

Uzbekistan Travel Guide – How to Plan the Perfect Trip

Last Updated on: Feb 26, 2024  

About the Blog: Traveling to Uzbekistan has been a long cherished wish. Finally we made it to the beautiful country so rich in history and culture. Read this blog to know the details about traveling to Uzbekistan. This comprehensive Uzbekistan Travel Guide will help you plan your trip to this Central Asian country.

Traveling to Uzbekistan feels like living history on the Silk Road. The country is undoubtedly a treasure trove for Islamic architecture. In fact, one of the first things that attracted me towards traveling to Uzbekistan are the pictures of the blue tiled domes and minarets. So, it was quite obvious that we started our Central Asian sojourn with Uzbekistan. That India and Uzbekistan have a long historical connection, also helped us to decide on visiting here first.

Uzbekistan was once a difficult country to travel to. Getting a visa was tough and we had heard of several other quirks of the country. However, of late, Uzbekistan has opened up to tourists to show the world its majestic culture, grand architecture and impressive shrines, mosques and old cities.

Also, Uzbekistan is one of the most tourist-friendly countries we have visited so far.

Planning a trip to Uzbekistan had been in our minds for a long time. Finally, the timing was right and Uzbekistan travel happened. And it happened in a grand way. And now we are happy to share our experiences and practical tips for traveling to Uzbekistan in this Uzbekistan travel guide.

This travel guide will provide you with helpful information and useful Uzbekistan travel tips that will help you plan your Uzbekistan trip. Read on.

Uzbekistan Tourism

Uzbekistan is the quintessential Silk Road country and is the heart of the ancient Silk Road. Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are the jewels of Uzbekistan and were the icons of the Silk Road. There are beautiful mosques, timeless minarets and mausoleums and impressive madrassah to discover in every city of Uzbekistan. This is the place where you can understand the power and enormity of the Timurid empire.

There are bustling and colorful bazaars where you can meet the friendly people of Uzbekistan. Walking down the old city will take you on a trip to the past. And then there are the local craftsmen creating wonderful and gorgeous works of art. Uzbekistan travel is a sensory overload of colors and smells.

Apart from the main tourist sites, you can also venture into the quaint villages and the charming mountains. Or you can meet the warm, friendly and welcoming locals and spend time with them. 

India and Uzbekistan

India and Uzbekistan have a deeply connected history. In Sanskrit and Pali texts, there are frequent references of Kamboja, which is a part of modern-day Uzbekistan. Ancient trade route known as Uttarpath passed through the country. Much later, Fergana, Samarkand and Bukhara were major towns of the Silk Road that connected India with Europe and China.

Babur , the founder of the Mughal Empire in India was born in Andijan in Fergana Valley. Mirza Ghalib and Amir Khusro , who were renowned poets, were of Uzbek parentage.

Well, these are facts of the past. At present, Uzbeks love Bollywood. This is what I realized fully on visiting Uzbekistan. The taxi in which we traveled from Tashkent airport to our hostel played a Bollywood song.

Several people asked us about Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Mithun Chakraborty. They are quite popular in Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan Railways play Bollywood songs on their display television.

Some Facts to know about Uzbekistan about the people and culture – Uzbekistan Travel Guide

Uzbekistan is an ex-Soviet Republic country who got their independence in 1991 after the dissolution of the USSR.

Majority of the population is Uzbeks. But like most of the Central Asian countries, you will also find people from the neighboring countries like Russians, Kazaks, Kyrgyz and Tajiks.

The people are Sunni Muslims and the Russian population is Christian orthodox. But religion is not a big deal here.

Is Uzbekistan Safe?

This is the first question I get whenever we travel to relatively unknown places. Even during our Uzbekistan trip we were asked whether Uzbekistan is safe, mostly because it shares a border with Afghanistan and its close proximity to Iran. There is always a skepticism about places about which people don’t know much about. In fact, after coming back from the country, a few of our friends kept asking whether Uzbekistan was safe and how were the people there.

To answer the question of safety in Uzbekistan – the country is quite safe for tourists. The people are friendly and helpful. You will find tourist police at all the tourist attractions. The people are hospitable. The locals hardly care about religion and politics, which is usually a cause of trouble in local areas.

During our Uzbekistan travel, we never felt unsafe, even when we traveled to Fergana Valley (which is said to be the most radical area in Uzbekistan) as well as in the Republic of Karakalpakstan.

The people were friendly and welcoming. And they are quite fond of Bollywood songs and dances.

Just usual words of caution – do not venture to places you know nothing about. And keep abreast of the local situations.

Traveling to Uzbekistan in 2024 : Entry Requirements – Uzbekistan Travel Guide

Once upon a time, getting a visa for Uzbekistan was difficult. However, since 2018, things have been much easier.

Uzbekistan Visa

Since mid-2018, Uzbekistan has introduced e-Visa for 51 countries. Starting from 2019, citizens of the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UAE and many other countries can travel to Uzbekistan visa free for a period of 30 days.

Citizens of 76 countries like the USA, China and India can get an e-Visa for Uzbekistan for a period of 30 days.

If your country of citizenship is not on any list, then you have to apply for a visa at the Uzbekistan embassy.

How to Apply for an Uzbek e-Visa?

Applying for an electronic visa for Uzbekistan is fairly easy and it takes about 2 to 3 working days to get it.

Head on to the Official Electronic Visa Portal of Uzbekistan and fill in your details. We found the form to be pretty simple and self-explanatory. You have to upload your photograph and scanned copy of your passport, the specifications and guidelines are found here.

A single-entry visa costs USD 20, but you can also get a multi-entry visa as well.

You get a visa for 30 days by default. The entry to the country is not date-specific. You can enter the country any day you want within a 90-day period.

We applied for e-visa online and received our electronic Visa within 3 days of application. Keep a printout of the visa so that you can show it on arrival.

Also, your passport has to be valid for 3 months from the date you arrive at Uzbekistan.

Once we arrived at Tashkent airport and showed our passports and e-visas to the immigration officer. The officer took a look at my passport and smiled at me while asking “India”? And then he gave back my documents while saying “Welcome to Uzbekistan”. It was the first miniscule hint that I got that the Uzbeks are fond of Indians.

Uzbekistan Visa via Embassy

In the unlikely case that none of the above methods work for you, then you will have to visit the Embassy. In this case, apply well in advance.

Can I extend my Uzbekistan Visa?

If you are travelling to Uzbekistan on a free tourist visa, you can enter and exit the country as many times as you want.

For those requiring an e-visa, you can apply for a multiple-entry visa.

I did not find any clear rules about how many days you can stay in Uzbekistan on a tourist visa. You can probably head towards the neighboring countries and easily renew your visa.

However, rules can change any time. So, keep a look out before you decide your travel plans.

What happens if I overstay my Uzbekistan Visa?

I had heard that if you overstay your visa for any extra time, it might lead to a hefty fine of USD 2000. The Uzbek authorities might also delay your exit from the country by another few days. This is something that I would not like to try and recommend you not to do so as well. But if by any chance, it happens to you, please let us know how you managed.

Are there any specific health precautions or vaccinations recommended?

There are no specific vaccinations required to travel to Uzbekistan. However, you can get vaccinated against DTI, Hepatitis A and typhoid if you are traveling to remote villages.

Travel Insurance for Uzbekistan

It is not mandatory to get travel insurance to visit Uzbekistan. However, we suggest you take one for the entirety of your trip. You never know when you might need one. Here are our recommendations.

Uzbekistan Travel Guide – How to Get to Uzbekistan?

Flying into uzbekistan.

Well, Uzbekistan has two international airports – Tashkent and Samarkand. You can easily fly into Tashkent, which is the capital city. Uzbekistan Airways is the national airline and has flights to several major cities. There are flights from Turkish Airlines as well.

Recently, Indigo also started their flights from New Delhi in India to Tashkent.

We had taken an Uzbekistan Airways flight from New Delhi to Tashkent. It took only 1.5 hours to reach Tashkent from New Delhi.

Fun fact is that, we had taken another flight from Kolkata in India to New Delhi in India and that flight took us more than 2 hours.

Tashkent International Airport is fairly small and easy to navigate. There is a currency exchange counter there from where you can exchange your US Dollars to the local Uzbek Soms.

We also found a couple of stalls selling domestic Sim cards. You can get a domestic SIM card from the airport itself. However, I think getting a SIM card from the local market might be cheaper.

How to get from Tashkent Airport to Tashkent City Centre (Or to your Hotel/ Hostel)?

Tashkent City center is about 30 minutes drive from Tashkent Airport. Once you come out of the airport, you will be flocked by taxi drivers willing to take you to your accommodation in Tashkent. And they will ask for an insane amount.

So, what do you do in this situation?

You have to bargain with the taxi drivers. Tell them half the price they quoted.

A taxi driver quoted us 1,00,000 Som for dropping us to our hostel. On negotiation, he decreased his price to 70,000 Som. But even that amount is quite high.

You can also arrange airport pick-up from your hotel, of course, with a charge.

Or you can download the Yandex Go App on your mobile and book a cab. Yandex is like the Uber app in Uzbekistan. However, you need to have a local number to use the Yandex app. Also, the drivers speak only the local Uzbek language and Russian. We had a hard time explaining our exact location to our driver in English.

We had downloaded the Yandex Go app and booked a cab to our hostel. It cost us 35,000 Som, which is half the negotiated price with the taxi driver.

Getting from Tashkent Airport to the City Centre on Bus

There are local buses running from 6 AM to 11 pm daily between the airport and the city center. As you exit the airport, you have to walk past the parking lot towards the left. You will see the buses there. Bus tickets will cost around 1200 to 1500 Som.

However, please note that there are different buses to different routes and it will be hard to figure out what bus to take if you are visiting for the first time. Also, if you are not conversant with the local language or Russian, it also poses a bit of a problem. So we suggest taking a cab for the first time you arrive at Tashkent. Maybe, you can try the buses later during your Uzbekistan trip.

How to Travel to Uzbekistan by Road?

Uzbekistan shares its borders with

• Turkmenistan
• Afghanistan

The security at the overland borders used to be quite strict. In fact, before heading towards Uzbekistan, we had heard of some horror stories of border crossing. You had to fill a lot of paperwork and that your bag would be opened and searched. If by any chance any prohibited item was found, a heavy fine would be levied.

But those are stories of the past. Things are easier now. Nowadays, border crossing does not take so much time. The border guards will check your visa and passports. They will still scan your luggage and check your camera and ask if you are carrying a drone or not.

Carrying a drone is strictly not allowed in Uzbekistan unless you have the proper permits. And the proper permit takes ages to obtain. So, it is better not to carry your drone there. I have heard that a drone was confiscated at the border and was not returned. I have no desire to confirm that with my own drone. So we did not carry our beloved drone on this Uzbekistan trip.

Overland border crossing is easier and faster these days. However, you should check online for correct information, as borders can close anytime without notice. Please adhere to all the rules and regulations while crossing the Uzbekistan-Afghanistan border.

The most common and easiest routes for overland crossing to Uzbekistan are the following:

• From Shymkent and Almaty (Kazakhstan) to Tashkent by train or bus
• From Osh (Kyrgyzstan) to Tashkent by shared taxi
• From Bishkek ((Kyrgyzstan) to Tashkent by bus
• From Khujand (Tajikistan) to Tashkent by bus
• From Penjikent (Tajikistan) to Samarkand by shared taxi

Getting Around Uzbekistan

For traveling across the cities, you have the option to take flights, trains, buses, shared and private taxis. Let me share a little about all of these.

Traveling around Uzbekistan by flight

Almost all the towns in Uzbekistan have a domestic airport. You will get flights from Tashkent to other Uzbek towns like Samarkand, Bukhara, Urgench (Khiva) and Nukus.

Please note, there are two terminals in Tashkent. The international and domestic terminals are almost 15 minutes from each other. So if you have a flight to catch, please make sure of where you have to reach.

Traveling around Uzbekistan by Train

Trains are the best way to travel across Uzbekistan. They are the most convenient, comfortable and one of the cheapest ways to travel across the country.

We had traveled across Uzbekistan on trains and they were super comfortable.

Uzbekistan railways now connect most of the touristic destinations by trains. You will find trains to and from Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. There are trains to Nukus, Kokand (Fergana Valley) and Termez as well.

There are 3 types of trains run by Uzbekistan Railways – the Afrosiyob (the high-speed train), the Sharq and the night train . We had traveled by all the three and you can read about them in our post on taking trains in Uzbekistan.

It is recommended to book your tickets in advance. The best way to book tickets is through their mobile app. and now you can book tickets using your VISA credit cards. The ticket window opens 45 days prior to the date of journey and the tickets get sold quite fast.

However, there is a nifty little fact I would like to share. Just a day or two before the date of journey, you might find tickets to your destination once more.

For example, when we wanted to book our tickets from Khiva to Bukhara weeks ahead, the train was fully booked. We were fully prepared to make the journey by car. However, just a day before the journey, I found tickets for the same on the Uzbek rail app. I booked it as soon as possible and had a lovely train journey. It saved money as well as time and was comfortable too. The same happened when I tried to book tickets for Kokand in Fergana Valley). So chances are there that you might get your train tickets just before the journey. But keep this as the last resort. Try getting the train tickets well in advance.

Nowadays, you do not need a printout of the tickets. You can just show the ticket on the mobile app. Luggages are scanned as you enter the railway station. The process is quite easy and there are no chances of confusion. 

Traveling around Uzbekistan by Shared Taxis

Traveling by shared taxis is another cheap and common method to travel around Uzbekistan. They are even cheaper than trains.

As you have already gathered, you have to share the ride with other passengers. These taxis do not usually have a fixed time and only leave when the taxi is full. They also leave from a fixed location in the city. You can probably ask your hostel or hotel about where to find them.

Traveling around Uzbekistan by Bus

You can also travel around Uzbekistan by buses. You can get bus tickets online here.

You can also get tickets at the local bus stations. Carry your passport with you to get the tickets. Also, try to book the buses at least one day in advance.

Private Taxis

You can always hire a private taxi to get around locations. But they are pretty expensive, as expected. 

Traveling within the city – Local Transport

By booking a cab.

We found the best way to travel within the city is by booking a cab from the Yandex Go app. the rates of the cab are reasonable and the drivers arrive at the given location and will also drop you at the location you have mentioned. The only problem we faced is that of language. They only speak Uzbek and Russian and very broken English. But they all seem to love Bollywood songs!

You can book a taxi from the Yandex Go app only if you have a local Uzbekistan number.

You can also get a private taxi from your hotel or the road. If you are getting a cab from the roadside, be prepared to bargain a lot.

We had seen local buses at Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. Once again, we did not try traveling by buses. A knowledge of basic Uzbek or Russian is needed as all the signs are in the local language and Russian.

What is the Best Time to visit? Uzbekistan Travel Guide

Uzbekistan has an extreme continental weather. It can be witnessed in its difference in day and night temperature, as well as the summer and winter temperatures. The region is usually arid with less rainfall.

The best time to visit Uzbekistan is in the spring (April to June) and autumn (September – October). The temperature during this time remains pleasant and walking during the day is not much of a problem.

Also note that most of the festivals and events in Uzbekistan take place during the spring.

Here is a breakdown of the weather in Uzbekistan

April to June

This is the spring season with clear skies, mild weather and sunshine. This is one of the best times to visit Uzbekistan.

July and August

These two are the hottest months in Uzbekistan. Temperatures usually remain 35 o C and can often go up to 40-45 degrees as well. Walking around the attractions can be quite uncomfortable during this time.

You might get concessions in price at hotels, but keep in mind the hot weather at this time.

September and October

This is the autumn or fall season and another good time to visit Uzbekistan. The peak summer has passed and the weather remains cool. There is sunshine and clear skies as well. However, after mid-October, there can be mild rain in different parts of Uzbekistan.

We visited during October. While there was mild rain on the first two days of our visit, the weather changed completely after that with a clear bright blue sky and a cool temperature. The mornings were pleasant and it was not hard to explore the place on foot. However, the evenings were quite cold and heavy jackets were needed.

November to February

These are the winter months with January being the coldest month in Uzbekistan. This is a lean season from a tourist point of view. So this is a great time to visit Uzbekistan if you want to avoid crowds. But be prepared for the cold.

March is neither very cold nor quite pleasant. Uzbekistan also starts getting rain from mid-March. This is also a low tourist season. Flights and hotels will be cheaper.

Best Places to visit in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is one of the core of the historical Silk Roads, a home to the three most important cities of the Silk Road – Samarkand, Khiva and Bukhara. There are lots to see in Uzbekistan. Most of the tourists are concentrated in the 4 major towns of Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. However, outside these major destinations, the tourist footfall is considerably less.

So here’s the list.

Tashkent is the capital city of Uzbekistan. It is sleek and modern and looks quite beautiful. There are quite a few attractions in Tashkent – Amir Timur Square, Minor Mosque, Chorsu Bazaar, Hazrat Imam Complex and so on. The Tashkent Metro in itself is an attraction. You must have at least one metro ride at Tashkent.

Samarkand is one of the most famous attractions of Central Asia. It was a major city on the ancient Silk Road and is an UNESCO  World Heritage center. The most famous attraction here is the Registan Square along with so many other eye-catching monuments.

Another major city on the Silk Road, Bukhara is quaint and lovely. The Ark of Bukhara, the mosques and madrassas in Bukhara are quite eye-catching.

Khiva is often overlooked by tourists who have fewer days in hand. But Khiva is a real gem. It is also our favorite place in Uzbekistan. The best part of Khiva is that all the major attractions are concentrated in a small area and you can simply walk around. Itchan Kala is the place to be.

Off-the beaten Trails in Uzbekistan

Aral Sea was once one of the largest saline water lakes in the world and a thriving ecosystem. Due to the callousness of man, the area is now a desert! Today we have only 10% of the entire Aral Sea left as compared to in the 1960s.

Visiting the Aral Sea shore and Moynaq Ship Graveyard is a humbling experience. However, if you are planning to visit here, set aside a chunk  of your budget, because Aral Sea trip costs a bomb.

Fergana Valley

Fergana Valley is the agricultural hub of Uzbekistan. Earlier this valley was part of the Silk Route between Samarkand and Kashgar (China). Fergana Valley has been producing silk for almost 1000 years. Fergana Valley has several towns, each having its own attractions. The main places of interest are Kokand, Rishtan (for ceramics), Margilan (for Silk), Fergana City and Andijan.

Karakalpakstan, an autonomous republic of Uzbekistan

This is the desert region of Uzbekistan, dry and arid and steeped in history. There are several interesting ancient fortresses in this region. Culturally, this place is quite interesting as well.

Chimgan and Nuratau Mountains

Who said Uzbekistan is all about history and mosques and minarets? There are beautiful landscapes, rolling hills and mountain tops, lakes and quaint mountain villages. There’s a lot of greenery too. The region of Nuratau and Chimgan has a few hiking trails as well.

Shakhrisabz

This ancient city is quite a significant part of the Silk Road. Shakhrisabz is also important as it is the birthplace of Amir Temur. The main attraction is the main historic center. If you are a major history buff and have time, you can visit this town near Samarkand. Otherwise, you can skip it. However, the journey to Shakhrisabz is a beautiful one through mountains and valleys.

Termez is another off the beaten track located in the southern part of Uzbekistan where Greek, Buddhist and islamic history has merged with each other. Located on the right bank of Amu Darya, Termez is one of the most ancient cities of the region. 

What is interesting about this place is that Termez was once an important center for Buddhist culture before the place was destroyed by Genghiz Khan in 1220. Several Buddhist sites have been unearthed in the area. 

Termez is definitely for the history buffs. To get an idea, here are the must visit attractions in Termez:

• Alexandrian site: Kampyr Tepe
• Buddhist sites: Fayaz Tepe & Zurmala Stupa
• Early Islamic era: Old Termez, Mausoleum of Al Hakkim Termizi , Jarkurgan minaret, Kyrk Kyz Fortress
• Post-Mongol: Sultan Saodat & Kokildor Khanaka

Where to Stay in Uzbekistan?

There is a wide range of hotels, hostels and guest houses available in all the major touristic spots of Uzbekistan. And these days, there are Airbnbs as well.

We recommend booking your stay in advance if you are visiting in the peak season.

And there is another very important thing to consider when you are traveling to Uzbekistan.

Registration

This is a funny thing that we came across in Uzbekistan. Foreigners staying in Uzbekistan as tourists are required to register their stays. If you are staying at a hotel, hostel or guest house, they will do this registration automatically for you and will give you a registration slip at the end of your stay.

This registration slip is usually checked while you are going out of the country. If you are traveling by train during any night, you have to keep the train ticket, which serves as a proof of your travel during the night.

We were advised to keep all the registration slips properly, which we did. But when we left Uzbekistan, the immigration officer did not ask for them. However, the registration slips were checked for a fellow traveler whom we had met at Khiva. So, it perhaps depends on the mood of the official who is checking your departure from Uzbekistan.

Registration Charge

A couple of hotels charged us extra over the booking amount for registration. We had booked all our hotels online for our Uzbekistan trips. While the hostels at Tashkent, Khiva and our guest house at Samarkand did not charge us any extra over the booking amount; our stay at Bukhara and Kokand charged an extra of $3 for registration.

While checking the hotel booking website, we did find a small disclaimer displayed under the room booking rate – “there may be additional charges such as taxes and fees.” So, if you are charged a few dollars extra for the stay, then that is for the registration fees.

Yurt Camps – unique lodging options

There are homestays in the village areas. Airbnb is found in the towns and cities. The desert areas of Karakalpakstan have Yurt camps for night stay. Yurt camps are the nomadic camps used by the shepherds as their temporary homes.

You will probably not get an authentic yurt experience in these yurt camps compared to neighboring Kyrgyzstan, but then it is an unique experience to stay at these camps.

There are some desert camps at Kyzyl Kum (near Nurata) and Aral Kum deserts (near the Aral Sea) and one near Ayaz Kala (near Urgench).

However, if you want to experience a night stay at yurt camp, keep a separate budget for it as they can be a bit expensive.

Food in Uzbekistan

Like in most of Central Asia, food in Uzbekistan is centered around meat as the main dish. Beef, chicken and mutton are the staples around Uzbekistan. You will also find rice dishes and salads.

Traditional bread or Non is an integral part of Uzbek culture. You will be served bread with every meal you take. The bread is flat and round and is torn from the side and eaten. Uzbek bread is never thrown out.

Just like India, tea is also an integral part of Uzbek culture. However, they prefer green tea. The locals have green tea all through the day and is a common drink offered to the guests. The restaurants also offer green tea without any charge.

They also have a variety of green and black tea infused with various flavors. You can try them out.

During the summer months, you will get a variety of seasonal and succulent fruits in the market. If you are a fruit lover like me, you will definitely have a good time.

Food in Uzbekistan is just amazing and as much as we loved traveling in Uzbekistan seeing its architectural brilliance, we also loved its food.

A few Uzbek dishes that you must try are Plov , Shashlik, Kabob (kebabs), manti (dumplings filled with meat and potatoes), Somsa , laghman (a variety of noodle soup) and the traditional Non bread.

Do you get vegetarian food in Uzbekistan?

If you are a vegetarian visiting Uzbekistan, finding a meat-free meal can be a bit tricky, but not impossible. Most of the touristy places have various vegetarian options. The dishes with meat fillings are also available in vegetable fillings. I tried a somsa with pumpkin filling at Bukhara.

And if you do not find the vegetarian version of the famous dishes, you can always go for the salads. Most of the restaurants provide a variety of salads.

You will love the fruits here. Apples, melons, grapes, pear – they are found in abundance. Do not miss the Samarkand melon.

Alcohol is widely available – beer, vodka and all that you want.

You can also try out the local wine. Uzbekistan is the largest producer of wine in Central Asia. And the taste is good.

Is it safe to drink tap water?

I found several different opinions on drinking tap water on the internet before traveling to Uzbekistan. This is what we found.

Packaged drinking water is available throughout. But we found it costlier than that in India. A 1.5 litre bottle of water cost 7,000 UZS ($0.50 or ₹47 approx).

On asking the hotels and hostels, they told us to get water from the tap in the kitchen. AT Khiva, they asked us to get water from the bathroom tap. The tap water at Tashkent and Kokand (Fergana Valley) was good. But I would recommend you to avoid tap water at Khiva and Samarkand.

You can however buy a Lifestraw

What languages are spoken in Uzbekistan?

The official language of Uzbekistan is Uzbek, belonging to the Turkic languages. It is spoken by almost 85% of the population. If you know the Turkish language it might help you understand the basic phrases.

The next widely spoken language is Russian. After Uzbek, most people understand and know Russian.

Outside of the tourism and hospitality sector, English is not widely spoken in Uzbekistan. So if you travel to Uzbekistan independently, you might have some problems while conversing with the locals.

Most of the hotel managers had basic understanding and speaking knowledge of English and we had no problems. We did have some trouble conversing with the local taxi drivers. However, we used Google translate wherever we had some problems and it is an amazing tool to use there.

Nowadays, a lot of youngsters are learning English. At Samarkand, a few young boys and girls approached us and told us that they wanted to talk to us in English. They also asked me to correct them if they were wrong in grammar and diction!

What should I do if I encounter a language barrier?

Use the Google Translator. It works well there and solved a few of our problems.

Water Filter bottles that filter out the contaminants and improves the taste of water.

Money Matters : What currencies can be used in Uzbekistan?

The local currency of Uzbekistan is the Uzbekistani Som (UZS).  Majority of the establishments in Uzbekistan accept both Som and US Dollars as payment.

At the time of traveling to Uzbekistan, the exchange rate was:

1 USD = 12,300 UZS

1 INR = 147 UZS

You will get banknotes of 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000 and 100000 som in circulation. There are also coins of 50, 100, 200 and 500 Soms.

So be prepared to get a wad of notes when you exchange your dollars and euros.

Where can I exchange money in Uzbekistan?

Right after you arrive at Tashkent Airport, you will see a counter to exchange money. They usually give a good rate and you can exchange your money from there.

You can also exchange USD, Euros and Russian Rubles to the local currency by walking into most of the banks, which are found all over the cities. Once upon a time, the bank exchange rate was much lower than the black-market rate. But now, the banks give a good rate and also, they would give you bigger notes so that you do not have to have a separate backpack for the cash.

Some of the hotels will also exchange currency for you.

Which Credit Card is accepted in Uzbekistan?

Visa cards are the most widely accepted credit cards. Maestro and Master Cards are also accepted at many places. However, Uzbekistan is still a cash economy and many places might not accept cards.

Also, Rupay Cards do not work in Uzbekistan.

ATMs in Uzbekistan

We found loads of ATMs in all the tourist cities in Uzbekistan and most of them accepted international cards. Tashkent, Bukhara, Samarkand, Khiva and Kokand all had a number of ATMs from where you can withdraw Uzbek Soms. However, bear in mind that each bank has its own charge for usage of international cards.  Both VISA and Mastercard work fine in Uzbekistan.

When to use Dollar and when to use Som

Typically, dollars are used to pay your accommodation in Uzbekistan and transport like flights. Some high-end restaurants also accept dollars.

For retail buying, smaller eateries, local cabs, buses and buying train tickets from the railway station, Som is needed.

Many hotels, hostels and restaurants accept cards nowadays.

We had exchanged $100 on arrival at Tashkent airport and later another $100 at a local bank in Tashkent. We had also used the local ATMs for cash withdrawal (we got the money in SOM). For the rest we paid online by using our World Travel Card.

Cost of Traveling in Uzbekistan: Travel Budget

This is one of the most important questions while planning a trip – the budget. Well, the cost of traveling in Uzbekistan is fairly inexpensive. Uzbekistan is quite a budget friendly destination. Let me share with you a rough estimate of the cost of traveling in Uzbekistan, along with how much we spent.

Accommodation

As with most places, the cost of accommodation varies with the option you choose. Basic accommodation in Uzbekistan is not dirt cheap because of a very confusing tourist tax (remember, registration slips!). Here’s a basic cost:

Hostels: $10 to $20

Hotels and Guest Houses: $30 to $250

It would cost around $5 to $30 per meal, depending on what you eat.

We booked all our stays that provided breakfast. Some days, we would splurge on our meals while on other days, we would go frugal.

Transportation

Transportation is quite cheap in Uzbekistan. A train ticket would cost around $10 to $20 depending on the distance. Yandex Cabs for moving within the city are also quite cheap. Buses and shared vans are also quite inexpensive.

Metro tickets in Tashkent were just UZS 2000 per person for a single journey.

Admissions and Entry Tickets

Most of the historical sites required an entry ticket. The average cost was around $2 to $5. At some places cameras were also charged. But that was also quite nominal.

A Sim card with data will cost around $3 to $4.

For a single-entry e-Visa, the cost is $20.

Tipping in Uzbekistan

Tipping to guides and drivers is not mandatory, but expected. If you like what you got, a 10% additional tip on top of the price is usually expected.

As for restaurants, most of them have a service fee added automatically to the bill. This is about 10-15% of the total bill. This amount is usually not seen in the menu and when you get the bill, it might seem to be more than what is mentioned in the menu. In this case, they have added a service charge and you are not expected to pay any tip.

Some Practical Information

Sim cards in uzbekistan.

There are a few mobile phone providers in Uzbekistan. We came across 3 of them. We got one SIM card for our time in Uzbekistan from UzMobile.

There is a counter to buy Sim cards on arrival at the Tashkent International Airport. We got our Sim card from there. It cost us 75,000 Som ($6) for 22 GB data for a month.

You can get Sim cards from markets as well. You will need to provide your passport and visa to get a sim card.

Internet in Uzbekistan

The Internet is decent in the cities. Once you are out of the city precincts, there is hardly any network. We did not get any network during the train journeys. Also, Aral Sea was a network free zone, which was quite great in my opinion.

The wi-fi provided in the hotels and hostels were decent as well. Most of them were slow in the rooms and you had to come to the common area to access the network.

Are there public Wi-Fi hotspots available?

We did not find any public Wi-Fi hotspots in Uzbekistan. So probably it isn’t there.

Taking Photos in Uzbekistan

It is strictly forbidden to take any pictures of government buildings and military areas in Uzbekistan. So, it is better to avoid those. We had earlier heard that laptops and cameras are checked while leaving the country. But we did not encounter any such incident during the trip. It might be a different case while crossing the border.

Otherwise, you can take photographs and videos of the monuments and the other attractions. The people are also very friendly and are very receptive if you want to take their picture.

In fact, they themselves come forward to take pictures with you, once they realize you are from India. A lot of people approached us wanting to take photographs with us. They have a special fondness for Indians and especially Bollywood.

Can I use drones for photography and videography?

Drones are strictly not allowed in Uzbekistan. You will be asked if you are carrying a drone and it will most probably be confiscated.

Are there any restrictions on taking photos at cultural sites?

There are as such no restrictions on taking photos at the cultural sites. We clicked quite a number of pictures wherever we went. There might be a photography fee for a few sites.

If you are taking photographs of the locals, ask for permission first. In our experience, the locals were quite happy to click pictures with us!

Electrical Outlets and Voltage

In Uzbekistan the power plugs and sockets are of Type C and Type F. The standard voltage is 220V. Carry a Universal Travel adaptor to solve your charging problems.

What to Wear in Uzbekistan?

Uzbekistan has four seasons. Pack appropriate clothes for the time you are visiting. If you are visiting during the summer months, pack light clothes as temperatures can get around 38°C/ 97°F.

During the winter months, carry proper winter wear as it gets very cold. Average Winter temperatures can be around -10°C/ 14°F and there can be a lot of snow.

Spring and Autumn are good times to visit without the harsh heat and cold. Even during this time, we recommend carrying a jacket. Some places get cold in the evening.

As for your sartorial choices, Uzbekistan is a modern country and they usually do not have any restrictions regarding clothing. However, the Uzbek people are conservative and do not usually show much skin. So keep this in mind while packing.

While visiting the religious sites and mosques, you might have to keep your shoulders and knees covered. Ladies might have to cover their heads while entering a few mosques.

Uzbekistan Travel Guide – Shopping

Uzbekistan is a shoppers’ paradise. There are so many things to get from here, starting from knick knacks to clothes, handicrafts, dry fruits and so many other things.

In all the major cities, there is a major market and several smaller markets. You will also find many shops selling souvenirs near the major tourist attractions.

You can buy ceramics, dolls, handicraft items, fridge magnets and other trinkets. Dresses, silk scarves and stoles are also sold in these markets. After all, Uzbekistan is the land of silks.

If you want to buy dry fruits, visit the main market of the town, like Chorsu Bazaar in Tashkent, Siyob Bazaar in Samarkand etc.

Even if you are not buying anything, just roam around these markets. The colors and flavors are sure to incense your senses.

As for us, we bought fridge magnets (because I love them), a local Uzbeki dress (I felt like a queen wearing it), a ceramic glass from Rustom Usmanov’s Ceramic Workshop in Fergana Valley (a souvenir from Uzbekistan) and dry fruits!

And now some cultural etiquettes to keep in mind

• Bread is a part of the culture. Try not to leave chunks on the plate or drop it on the floor. Also, try not to throw the bread in dustbins.
• Remove your shoes before entering inside a home, homestay or guest house. It is a sign of respect.
• Don’t blow your nose at the table. It is considered disrespectful.
• While visiting the religious sites, mosques and mausoleums, dress appropriately. Your shoulders and knees should be covered. Ladies might have to cover their heads while entering a few mosques.

Uzbekistan Travel Guide: The Ultimate 10-Day Itinerary

Uzbekistan, a deserted landscape where time-stood still or, that’s what everyone thinks! In reality, Uzbekistan is a well-developing country with beautifully-tiled mosques, palaces with detailed ornaments, tasty food with their fresh vegetables and fruits, a high-speed train network and best of all, some of the friendliest and welcoming people out there. Plan to travel Uzbekistan with our 10-day itinerary.

Uzbekistan Travel Itinerary

This undiscovered gem of Central Asia has a rich history due to its location on the legendary Silk Road. The great blend of the old and the new is a pleasant touch to the country. “But why has Uzbekistan been so under the radar?” The new president heavily invested in tourism by building a high-speed railway system and by making visas much cheaper or free. One to two weeks is enough time to travel around Uzbekistan.

Check if you need a visa online here

Day 1: Tashkent

Tashkent is the largest city in Central Asia. This modern capital is the starting point of your Uzbekistan travel itinerary because of its well-connected international airport.

Tashkent is very different from others and doesn’t have much to offer apart from visiting the Bazaar and the picturesque Metro stations.

Tip: Download the Verum QR app since mid-2019 all sites have QR codes that provide information about the object. (Like a free tour guide)

Day 2 – 4: Samarkand – Uzbekistan Travel Favorite

Step into the wonderful city of colorful mosques, minarets, mausoleums, and the traditional market – Samarkand is the must-see city of Uzbekistan. Spend three days visiting all its sites and having a chat with the welcoming locals.

All about: The Things To Do in Samarkand

Tashkent to Samarkand

The high-speed train from Tashkent to Samarkand only takes two hours and is very convenient.

Where to stay in Samarkand

The hotels and guesthouses in Samarkand are for every kind of budget. We highly recommend B&B Antica . A wonderful guesthouse with a beautiful garden where you will get the best breakfast in the city! It is also located right next to Gur-e Amir.

Hotels in Samarkand 😴

Day 5 – 7: Bukhara

The walkable city of Bukhara might be the most picturesque city in Uzbekistan. The labyrinth of narrow, quiet streets and green parks make it a rather pleasant place to spend a couple of days. Visit the Ark and Po-i Kalyan Complex, two architectural masterpieces.

Bukhara – The Ancient Mosque city guide

Samarkand to Bukhara

Jump on the high-speed train in Samarkand and arrive in Bukhara in under 2 hours.

Where to stay in Bukhara

It’s best to find a hotel in Bukhara near the area where cars are not allowed, and most restaurants are located.

Hotels in Bukhara 😴

Day 7 – 9: Khiva

Khiva, the open-air museum in the desert, was the first place in Uzbekistan to get a UNESCO heritage listing. Taste the delicious food of this region and wander around in this old, mud-brick-walled village that feels like walking in an actual movie scene. 

Read: Full Khiva Museum City Guide

Bukhara to Khiva

Of all the destinations on your Uzbekistan travel itinerary, Khiva is certainly the hardest to get to. From Bukhara, it is best to take the train (5h) or taxi (7h).

Where to Stay in Khiva

Khiva offers affordable accommodation for all budgets. The higher-end hotels are located within the city walls, and just outside those walls, hotels get much more affordable.

Hotels in Khiva 😴

Day 10: Tashkent

Finally, spend the last day of your time in Uzbekistan, making your way to Tashkent to catch your international flight back home with a backpack filled with new experiences.

You can either take the night train from Khiva (16.5 h) or fly back from Urgench to Tashkent. (1.5h)

Costs of traveling in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is a very affordable country to travel around and can easily be done on your own. Transportation and accommodation are the biggest expenses while traveling in Uzbekistan. 

Costs of Traveling in Uzbekistan

Travel on a budget in Uzbekistan, from $290 − $460 USD weekly per person, mid-range $710 − $1240 USD, and high-end from $1200 − $1810 USD. However, costs depend on factors like accommodation, transportation, and activities. We did not include flights. Check flight prices here

• Hotels: $60 − $200 USD Check available hotels
• Hostels: $20 − $50 USD Check available hostels
• Transport: $5 − $10 USD Book public transport
• Food: $10 − $30 USD
• Activities: $3 − $20 USD See tickets & tours
• Sim: $1 − $3 USD Get an eSIM or SIM here
• Travel Insurance: $2 − $6 USD Get Travel Insurance

Getting cash in Uzbekistan

Each city has a handful of good working ATMs. Some dispense Uzbek Sums and other US Dollars. Maestro and Visa cards are widely accepted, whereas Mastercard is limited. 

Food in Uzbekistan 

The large markets with fresh fruits, vegetables, and loaves of bread represent the tasty meals of the food in Uzbekistan. Expect delicious salads, soups, bread, plov, dumplings, and so much more. Even for vegetarians, it isn’t too difficult to find great meatless meals like pumpkin dumplings (Manti). 

How to Get Around Uzbekistan

A commonly misunderstood fact is that you would have to see Uzbekistan with a tour company – wrong! Uzbekistan’s rail network is a super convenient, affordable, and overall great way to get around the country. The fast trains are of the same quality as Italy or another European country. 

Right now, booking tickets online is still very difficult (2019) but fortunately, Advantour, the silk road tour operator , takes away the hassle by pre-booking everything for you.

Train tickets for the above Uzbekistan travel route cost between 5 and 20 USD per ride per person, depending on the class. 

Browse and book your train tickets online

All major cities are connected with a domestic or international airport and have regularly scheduled flights.

Tip: Right now, we recommend taking just one flight back from Khiva to Tashkent because the train between the other cities is a much better way of traveling.

Best Time to Travel in Uzbekistan

It is best to visit Uzbekistan in the spring (April to June) and autumn (September – October) when the weather is comfortably warm and dry.

In general, it is recommended to skip the summer months, June to August. However, our visit in late August was fine if we would stay out of the sun in the afternoon. 

What to Wear in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is a modern country without strict rules on how women should dress. Although the majority of the country is Muslim, headscarves are not required at all, and you will see women wearing whatever they feel comfortable with, even ripped jeans or skirts. Expect quite a few selfie requests as Western tourists are still new and exciting. 

Dress in a way that is respectful to everyone. Of course, at some religious sites, you are required to cover yourself, so always bring an extra scarf with you while traveling in Uzbekistan. 

Safety in Uzbekistan

Besides corruption happening a few years ago, the crime rate in Uzbekistan is very low, making it a safe country to travel to .

Planning That Perfect Trip to Uzbekistan: Treasures of the Silk Route

Embarking on a journey from India to Uzbekistan promises a delightful blend of culture, history, and natural beauty. Nestled in Central Asia, Uzbekistan boasts a rich tapestry of architectural wonders, bustling bazaars, and warm hospitality. It is located on the ancient silk road, the singular rite of passage of ancient travellers and tradesmen. This guide aims to guide travellers on a well-rounded itinerary, highlighting 2 days in Tashkent, 2 days in Samarkand, and 3-4 days exploring the rest of the country, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

Important tips for preparing for your trip to Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan was closed to tourists for a long time and has re-opened recently. Due to this, you might come across minor hiccups while travelling in the country. However locals are really friendly and with our tips, your holiday will be seamless. We suggest doing the following before leaving for Uzbekistan

• If you have an Indian passport, you will need to apply for an e-visa . This costs INR 1800 and takes 3-4 working days to arrive. Carry a print out of your e-visa to the airport
• Download the Yandex Go App on your phone. Uber doesn’t work in Uzbekistan. However local cabs are extremely cheap and plentiful. This is why you should download an app called Yandex before leaving for Uzbekistan. Use it to request taxis, no matter where you are.
• Download Google Translate or any other translation app of your choice as English is not very widely spoken or understood
• Upon reaching Tashkent, we recommend buying a SIM card from the airport so your apps work seamlessly. There are 2 options at the airport – Beeline and Youcell. Youcell is slightly cheaper but Beeline has better coverage, so we went with the latter. One sim with 30 GB data costs INR 600 ($7). Best to pick it up from the airport itself.
• Pack well – both the heat and cold can be extreme in Uzbekistan. Make sure you check temperatures before packing your suitcase. In addition to this, women should pack a few dresses, tops, and trousers that cover elbows and knees. Unlike other Islamic countries, there are no strict rules for covering up at monuments in Uzbekistan. In fact, everything from short skirts and sleeveless tops is allowed. However in the smaller towns away from Tashkent, covered knees and elbows, especially at historical monuments and places of worship, seems to be the norm
• The best time to visit the country is in spring (March and April) before peak summer temperatures hit and autumn (September-November) before it gets very cold
• Uzbekistan’s bullet trains ( Afrosiyob ) are ideal to travel from one city to the other. However make sure you book train tickets in advance as they run out! In case you can’t find train tickets, there are 2 other options. You can take private intercity cabs (sample cost from Samarkhand to Tashkent INR 5000 for a the whole car) or take a short domestic flight (sample cost from business class seats from Tashkent to Samarkand INR 4000 per person) depending on what suits you more.
• Finally, be prepared to click a lot of selfies with the locals – everywhere we went, the locals would take a selfie. They love Indians and to be honest are the friendliest people we have met on our travels

Budgeting for your trip to Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is an extremely affordable country. In fact we would go so far as to say it is one of the cheapest countries in the world. This makes it easy and affordable to plan a trip here. The local currency is SOM. 1 INR = 140 SOM (June 23)

In terms of expenditure on a 7-8 day trip to Uzbekistan, a rough estimate would be around INR 85000 ($ 1000). This budget includes flights from India, mid-range accommodations, and moderate dining options. Here are some sample costs that will help you estimate the exact expenditure

• Flights from Delhi to Tashkent: INR 30-50K. We flew on Uzbekairways and booked directly from their website. It’s a 3 hour direct flight from Delhi to Tashkent
• Evisa: INR 1800
• Tashkent Metro Tickets: INR 10
• Tashkent cab ride: INR 100
• Sit-down meal for 2:  INR 700 – INR 1000
• Accommodation: INR 3K-20K per night (depending on your budget and choice – see below)
• Approximate daily expenditure on cabs, food, and attractions: INR 2000

Where to stay in Uzbekistan

Of course your budget will determine your choice of hotel. However the good news is that Uzbekistan has some amazing hotels, ranging from hostels and homestays to luxury hotels and scenic inns. Here are some that we recommend in the country

Tashkent has some amazing options. Try to opt for something central and upscale if possible. If you enjoy standard luxury hotels then Hyatt Regency Tashkent and Wyndham Tashkent are great options – conveniently located and luxurious. For something bursting with local character, also consider Ichan Q’ala Hotel , a unique base to explore Tashkent

While choosing a hotel in Samarkhand, we highly recommend picking something that is close to Registan . Shohjahon Palace or L’Argamak Hotel make for great choices. Expect comfortable rooms, local foods for breakfast, and Samarkhand’s cultural sites at close proximity. If you’re not big on luxuries, or booking your trip last minute, but would like to have great views of historical buildings from your hotel, then consider Kamila Boutique

The choice of hotels and the level of amenities does considerably decrease as you visit the smaller places in Uzbekistan. However you can still find some gems and uniquely memorable stays. We recommend checking out these 4 hotels – Mercure Bukhara Old Town , Wyndham Bukhara , Arkanchi Hotel in Khiva , and Orient Star Khiva Hotel – when you are booking your trip.

What to eat in Uzbekistan

Food in Uzbekistan is to die for – the flavours, ingredients, and presentation styles are very close to Indian food. The national dish of Uzbekistan is “Plov” , which is very similar to Pulao in India. While the locals usually top it with meat, you can always request for vegetarian versions. Other than Plov, make sure you try Manti (dumplings), Obi Non (the Uzbek flat bread akin to Naan), Samsas (similar to Samosas except the Samsa is traditionally baked), and a variety of Kebabs including Kazan Kabob and Shashlik. Uzbek food is one of the tastiest and most flavourful that we have tasted. And finally, make sure you pick some spices or dried fruit – Uzbekistan is known for these!!

Things to see and do in Uzbekistan

Day 1-2: exploring tashkent’s hidden gems.

Uzbekistan’s capital, Tashkent serves as a gateway to the country’s wonders. Start your adventure by immersing yourself in the city’s vibrant ambience, architectural marvels, and fascinating museums. Begin with a visit to the Old Town ( Eski Shahar ) and explore Chorsu Bazaar , a bustling market offering a plethora of local delights. If you’re fond of offbeat finds, then consider Oloy Bazaar instead of Chorsu Bazaar.Make sure you visit a traditional Pilaf Centre – Beshqozon is a favourite with locals and tourists alike – you can savour some delicious food, take in the flavours of local dishes, and also see how they are made right in front on you.

Stroll through Independence Square , where monumental structures like the Senate and the Cabinet of Ministers stand tall. Delve into the past at the State Museum of History of Uzbekistan, housing artefacts dating back centuries. To witness the city’s cultural side, attend a performance at the Alisher Navoi Opera and Ballet Theatre, known for its grandeur and artistic brilliance.

Tashkent is also home to some of the most stunning metro stations in the world. These underground marvels are not just transportation hubs but also architectural gems that captivate visitors with their intricate designs and artistic brilliance. They are like art galleries which simply cannot be missed. A few that you must visit include

•  Kosmonavtlar, which takes inspiration from celestial bodies and space exploration. Expect artwork featuring planets, stars, and galaxies
• Alisher Navoi station is opulent and majestic. Marble columns, grand chandeliers, and ornate arches give it a regal touch. Colourful murals and intricate tile work depicting scenes from the works of Alisher Navoi, the renowned Uzbek poet, add artistic beauty to this station
• If you’re a football fan, visit Pakhtakor station which pays tribute to the national football team
• Amir Temur Hiyoboni station is dedicated to the iconic ruler Amir Temur. Here elaborate mosaic panels depicting scenes from his life and conquests, along with elements of traditional Uzbek architecture, exude grandeur and offer a glimpse into the country’s history.
• Mustakilik Maydoni – our favourite

Make your way to Samarkand, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning architecture and significant historical importance. Spend two to three days exploring this magnificent city, which served as the capital of the powerful Timurid Empire.

Begin your Samarkand adventure at Registan Square , the heart of the city, adorned with three grand madrasas (Islamic schools). No matter how many photographs you see of Registan, you will not be prepared for the sheer scale of the monument. We recommend heading there just around sunset as most of the tourist groups and buses have departed and the place is relatively quiet. Plus, it’s absolutely gorgeous at dusk when the lights come on. We’d suggest visiting Registan at least twice during your trip – once early morning and once around sunset. Top tip : Ask one of the locals or shop owners how you can access the cafe on the first floor: it’s a beautiful vantage point

Marvel at the intricate mosaic work and towering minarets, immersing yourself in the glorious past. Visit the Gur-e-Amir mausoleum , the final resting place of Timur, and witness its awe-inspiring turquoise dome. Try going early as it tends to get really crowded as the day progresses. We were told that this mausoleum was a big inspiration for the design of Taj Mahal in India.

Continue your journey to the Bibi-Khanum Mosque , an architectural masterpiece. Go on to explore our personal favourite, the Shah-i-Zinda complex, a street of mausoleums adorned with stunning turquoise and blue tilework. Get here by 7 a.m. and request the guard to let you in (you might have to tip them a little :-)). To gain deeper insights into the city’s history, try to visit the Ulugh Beg Observatory and the Afrosiab Museum, which showcases artefacts from ancient settlements. If you have just 4-5 days (total for Uzbekistan), you can take a cab back to Tashkent or book the superfast train and board your flight back home after this leg of the trip. However if you have a few more days, here are a couple of options.

With Tashkent and Samarkand checked off your list, venture into the lesser-explored regions of Uzbekistan for a diverse experience. You can start by visiting Bukhara , another UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its well-preserved historical sites. Lose yourself in the maze-like streets of the Old Town (Shahristan) and admire the beauty of the Kalon Minaret and the Ark of Bukhara. Ismanil Samani Mausoleum is another place you must visit in Bukhara.

Next, head to Khiva, a true gem of Uzbekistan. Step into the open-air museum of Itchan Kala, a perfectly preserved old town surrounded by ancient walls. Explore the intricate tilework, stunning palaces, and bustling bazaars within its walls. Make sure you make time to enjoy sunset at Kuhna Ark Fortress

If you enjoy nature, head to the Nuratau-Kyzylkum Biosphere Reserve, offering breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and a chance to experience the nomadic lifestyle. Engage in activities like hiking, bird-watching, and stargazing, all while staying in traditional yurts.

There you have it. Everything you need to plan an affordable and special trip to Uzbekistan. Planning a trip here presents a gateway to a world steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty. From the bustling streets of Tashkent to the architectural marvels of Samarkand and the hidden treasures across the rest of the country, Uzbekistan offers an unforgettable experience, one that you should put on your bucket list soon.

Hey Do you think I can do Uzbekistan as a solo female traveler? What are your thoughts on it in terms of safety? Thanks

Hey yes you can – we met lots of solo travellers there! However if you haven’t extensively travelled solo before, then would suggest sticking to the bigger/more popular cities such as Tashkent and Samarkand 🙂

Hi..do you think travelling to Uzbekistan in December is a good idea… We are traveling as a family and would like to enjoy snow…but is it extreme for kids…pls share your thoughts..

Thanks alot for the blog …love it

Hey there – December is a great time to visit Uzbekistan if you don’t mind the cold 🙂

Hi, Is there anything else more interesting than these monuments?

Yes, the food 😉

Hey you two! Quick question – Can we indians book directly from the Uzbekistan Airways website? I am trying but in the Citizens section it doesnt show me an option for Indian citizenship. Could you help please 🙂 TIA

Hello yes you can indeed – that’s how we did it too. Perhaps check again? 🙂

got it. Thankyou. We booked. Now we are looking for the visa. How did you guys make it?

We took an e-visa for Uzbekistan on an Indian Passport – details are all above 🙂

Hi any thoughts on Amirsoy ski area. And how’s it like in January? Will it be a more exotic option than Gulmarg? Also how are tashkent and samarkand in January apart from the fact that its gonna be icy cold

Hey Vidhan – yes it will be icy cold. But other than that, it’ll be wonderful, especially if you’re going to Amirsoy too

Hi there. is it easy to travel with kids ( considering availability/cleanliness of restrooms etc.) ? would you recommend families to DIY all trip or book through local agencies/guides for local sight seeing/ land transport/ticket booking etc. in case u all availed any service of local agency/guide then please do recommend.

Hey to answer your questions – would suggest DIY-ing the trip as it is not only cost-effective but more personalised to what you like/dislike as a family And secondly, hotels, restaurants etc are very clean. You didn’t mention the ages of your kids but if they’re really young then there is one problem – that a lot of hotels and historical monuments don’t have ramp access for strollers, and changing stations etc. Hope that helps

Hey! would Uzbekistan trip be good with a two year old kid?

Sure – but do beware that a lot of historical monuments and mosques don’t have ramps for strollers etc, so in that aspect it might be a bit of a struggle

Hi, Liked your blog, is it good to travel for 2-3 days with two kids of 11&8yrs in July August and will 2-3 days be ok for tashkent and Samarkand. Thank you

Hello – yes indeed. But do keep in mind it gets really hot in July and August

Hi! Loved your advise on Uzbekistan travel. It is very hel0ful. Are there any options for gluten free and egg free eateries in the cities? Thanks.

Hey they are harder to find but yes they are there. Would suggest looking up a website like happycow.net for this 🙂

Great article on Uzbekistan ! Thank you. Quick question. From where can one book train tickets in advance (inter-city travel ) safely ? Their railways website doesn’t load . Please help , if possible. Thanks

we faced this problem too. You can try upon reaching there – it opens easier then 🙂

Really appreciate you guys writing this article very helpful in getting general idea of what to expect.

In the sea of flashy instant video guides this is genuine work for simple people, keep up the good work ✌️

Truly happy to hear this 🙂 Have fun in Uzbekistan

Hello. It was very exhaustive blog and you have captured all details. I have one question if you can assist me. How did you get the Uzbek SOM in India? I really don’t want to convert it at airport due to unfair exchange rates.

Hey thank you – we used our card to withdraw from an ATM on landing

Hey hi Savi , Thanks for the detailed guide . Could you please tell can we use our credit / debit cards directly in metro or taxies resturants etc . Is there need of cash everywhere . Thanks

In most restaurants, yes. For taxis, you can add your card details in Yandex (just like Uber), and that should take care of the taxi fare payment

Thank you for helping us plan our itinerary for Uzbekistan with your article. It’s very helpful and detailed. Could you also recommend a taxi service that can be used to travel from Tashkent to Samarkand? The sample cost you mentioned is 5000 som, but when I search for cab services online, I get quotes of around 14k-20k som, which is a huge difference. It would be helpful if you could guide me through the taxi apps. Can we use Yandex for intercity travel?

Don’t think Yandex can be used inter-city, but maybe that has changed now. We booked straight from our hotel reception – online prices do tend to be on the higher side. One way we actually flew – it was super cheap. I think even cheaper than a taxi

Hi – Do you recommend staying in one city and travel around to explore or do you suggest we move hotel between the cities to explore ?

Hey you guys!! Thank you so much for a detailed and a wonderful article.

I have one request, if you could suggest any guide or someone who can assist on the tour as I will be travelling solo. In case of any leads, it will be really helpful. 🙂

Hey hi Savi , Thanks for the detailed guide . Could you please tell can we use our credit / debit cards directly in metro or taxies resturants etc . Or can we withdraw cash from the atms in uzbekistan . Your suggestions please . Thanks

Heyy, thank you for the detailed guide. I want to plan a trip with my father who is 60+. While exploring Tashkent and Samarkand, will you say it requires a lot of walking or a combination of local transport and walking?

Can definitely be done with minimal walking and taking taxis (Yandex). Very convenient

Uzbekistan Price Guide. Prices in 2023

Many travelers who visit Uzbekistan often ask questions such as: “How much money should I take with me?”, “Are consumer prices high in Uzbekistan?”, “How much does it cost per day?”, “Is food expensive here?”, “Do I need a SIM card here?”.

Today we will answer all these questions so that each of our travelers is fully aware of these details.

How much money should a tourist take with him when traveling in Uzbekistan?

For 2022, the minimum consumer spending in Uzbekistan is 12-14 USD per day. For this amount, a tourist will be able to book an inexpensive hostel in Tashkent, take two public transport tickets, and also eat 2 times in a local canteen.

If the tourist wants to spend the night in a more comfortable room, travel by taxi, and visit local restaurants, then the price for one day will be about 50-70 USD per person.

Uzbekistan is considered affordable destination. Here you can not only visit the best places for a small amount, but also taste unforgettable national dishes of huge portions with exquisite meat.

How much does an internet package cost?

Uzbekistan is considered one of the countries where the Internet is very cheap and ranks 28th out of 164 countries in terms of the cost of mobile Internet according to the Internet Accessibility Index. According to information, Uzbeks pay $1.3 for 1 GB of mobile Internet. In terms of Internet accessibility, Uzbekistan ranks 113th.

In Uzbekistan, mobile communication services are provided to the population by five mobile operators: Beeline, Ucell, Mobiuz (UMS), Uzmobile operate in the GSM standard, and Perfectum Mobile and Uzmobile operate in the CDMA standard.

The cost of mobile Internet in Uzbekistan depends on the chosen tariff. On average, Internet package with 1000 Mb of traffic costs $3.5-4.

At the international airports of Tashkent and Bukhara , some mobile operators offer tourist SIM cards. For this you should present a passport with a stamp on arrival in Uzbekistan and pay the required amount according to the selected tariff plan.

Food prices

During your trip in Uzbekistan you can taste dishes for a small amount of money.

The minimum amount of one lunch in local establishments in Uzbekistan is 30000 UZS (2.7 USD), in a touristic restaurant 95000 UZS (9 USD). The cost of one cup of cappuccino is 12500 UZS (1.15 USD). The minimum cost for loaf of bread 0.5 kg is 1520 UZS (0.15 USD).

The cost of 1 kg rice is 1400 UZS (17.5 USD), 1 kg meat (pork) is 40050 UZS (4 USD), 10 pieces of eggs – 7198 UZS (0.64 USD), bottle of water 0,5 liter costs 1260 UZS (0.12 USD), bottle of milk 6000 UZS (0.60 USD).

Transport prices

From the beginning of 2022, the fare in the Tashkent metro is 1,700 soums. The cost of student (TM), school (O’M) and pension (NM) travel cards is fixed and amounts to 118,000 soums. The remaining categories of passengers, including tourists, purchase a general travel ticket (AVM), the cost of which is 236,000 soums.

The fare in buses in Tashkent is identical to the fare in the subway and amounts to 1700 soums. Student (T), school (O’) and pension (N) travel cards cost 85,000 soums. The remaining categories of passengers, including tourists, purchase a general ticket (AV), the cost of which is 170,000 soums.

Uzbekistan Money Guide (2024) – How much does it cost to live and travel in Uzbekistan?

What are the travel costs in Uzbekistan? Is Uzbekistan expensive to travel to? How much money should you bring to Uzbekistan? What are the costs of living in Uzbekistan? Here’s a comprehensive Uzbekistan money guide with plenty of info about the costs of traveling in Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan is a country that is attracting more and more people since it became visa-free for most travelers. It’s rapidly becoming famous as one of the best places to visit the remains of the Silk Road in Central Asia.

If you’re contemplating a visit to this country, you might be wondering how much money you’ll need to travel to Uzbekistan. While Uzbekistan is one of Central Asia’s most expensive countries, it’s still a very affordable destination.

Food in local markets doesn’t cost much, and although there’s been a recent increase in tourism, inexpensive hostels can still be found in almost every major Uzbekistan city such as Tashkent , Bukhara or even Khiva .

In this guide, I’ll tell you exactly how much traveling around Uzbekistan could cost.

Uzbekistan Money – What is the currency in Uzbekistan?

The  Uzbekistani Som (UZS)  is the official currency used in Uzbekistan:

• Banknotes circulating in Uzbekistan: 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 som.
• Coins circulating in Uzbekistan: 50, 100, 200 and 500 som

I always use the  Xe.com app  to convert and stay up-to-date with the current exchange rates. At this time of writing, the current exchange rates are:

• $1 USD = 12,300 UZS
• €1 Euro = 13,000 UZS
• £1 British Pound = 15,000 UZS

Only a few years ago, the highest denomination available was a banknote of 5000 Uzbeki Som. I needed an extra bag to carry the 2400 banknotes after exchanging 150 US dollars for 1.200.000 Som…

The new banknotes of 10.000, 50.000, and 100.000 UZS make a huge difference in size and weight in your wallet (and the amount of time spent on counting your change…).

You probably won’t be able to find the Uzbekistan currency in your home country. The best place to exchange money in Uzbekistan is at one of the banks in Tashkent as they give the best exchange rate.

Just keep in mind that if you want to exchange money,  your banknotes should be crisp and in good condition . It happened a few times that the exchange office gave me a lower rate as my banknotes were a little crumpled. 

Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva nowadays all have ATMs where you can take out US dollars and/or Uzbek Som with a VISA card. There are also 2 ATMs at the international airport in Tashkent. 

Before you leave Uzbekistan, you can exchange your remaining Uzbek Som at the bank or in one of the exchange offices at either the airport or at the land borders.

Update:  You can nowadays also pay with Euro and US dollar bills in shops, restaurants, at the hotel, to guides and drivers,…

Uzbekistan Travel Guide: 18 useful things you need to know before you go

Are credit cards accepted in Uzbekistan?

Visa is probably the most widely accepted credit card in hotels and restaurants. However, Uzbekistan still has a cash economy which means you won’t always be able to pay with your credit card. It would be wise to  carry some cash rather than depending on your card  whilst traveling in Uzbekistan. 

Need Travel Insurance for Central Asia ? I use and highly recommend HeyMondo Travel Insurance . As a reader of Journal of Nomads, you get a 5% discount off your insurance plan!

Is Uzbekistan expensive to travel to?

The costs of traveling to Uzbekistan depends on when and from where you’re flying. I usually fly from Belgium (Europe) and a return flight from Brussels to Tashkent costs me around €850/ US$920.

Although not as cheap as other Central Asian countries like Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan , traveling in Uzbekistan is still affordable by Western standards. It’s just slightly more expensive than Kazakhstan .

Average prices are $10 for a basic meal, $15 for a hostel bed and $30 upwards for a double room in a decent hotel, and $10 for a train ticket. The entrance fees to mosques, madrasahs, and museums are generally between $5 and $12.

Average costs of hotels and accommodations in Uzbekistan

Most Uzbeks in the bigger cities of Uzbekistan are realizing that tourism in the country will only increase with time. A lot of new hotels and guesthouses are being build around the country and the average price for accommodation has increased a lot in the past couple of years.

I always use Booking.com in Uzbekistan as you’ll find a wide variety of hotels, guesthouses and hostels on this platform. I wouldn’t look too much at the star-rating but at the review score (cleanliness etc).

How much does it cost to stay at an economy hotel or hostel in Uzbekistan?

In Uzbekistan, they offer mixed and gender-specific dorms at a very low cost, but many also offer private rooms for couples or families for less than a hotel. Expect to have a shared toilet and bath tho.

The cost of a bed in a hostel dorm starts at €8/ US$9 a night during the high season (May – June and September – October). In the low season, you can find even cheaper options.

A private room in a hostel or in an economy hotel (with shared bathroom and toilet) starts at €15/ US$16.

How much does it cost to stay at a homestay or a guesthouse in the rural areas in Uzbekistan?

If you find yourself in the rural areas, in the Fergana Valley or in the mountains of Uzbekistan , you’ll mostly find homestays and family-owned guesthouses as lodging options.

A homestay or guesthouse in the rural areas or mountains don’t have the typical luxury of a guesthouse or hotel in the city but you’ll have close contact with your hosts and learn a lot about their daily life.

The cost for spending a night at a homestay or guesthouse can vary from €20/US$21 to €35/US$37. These rooms usually have a shared bathroom and toilet.

How much does it cost to stay at a guesthouse or mid-range hotel in the cities in Uzbekistan?

A private room in a mid-range hotel or guesthouse in one of the Silk Road cities costs between €18/ US$19 and €40/ US$42 a night. These rooms have their own bathrooms and breakfast is usually also included in the price.

A room in a Boutique Hotel starts at €30/US$32 a night.

How much does it cost to stay at a luxury hotel in Uzbekistan?

If you like luxury or if you always wanted to stay at a luxurious hotel but you normally don’t have the budget for it, you can probably treat yourself to one in Uzbekistan! You can already find a luxury room in a wellness hotel for €80/ US$85 a night!

Hotels similar to Hyatt and Four Seasons cost around €150/US$160 a night.

How much does food cost in Uzbekistan?

You can eat and drink very well in Uzbekistan with only €30/ US$32 per day.

• Breakfast is usually included in the price of your lodging. If not, you can get a good breakfast (with coffee) for already €5/US$5.
• Lunch in a small local restaurant will cost around €10/US$11 per person.
• A 3-course dinner in a mid-range restaurant costs around €15/US$16 per person.
• A soft drink with your meal costs around €0.7/ US$0.7, a beer €1.5/US$1.6 and a bottle of wine €5/US$5.5.

Some cities, like Khiva , will be a bit more expensive to eat since they are geared for tourism.

Here’s an overview of you’ll pay if you want to buy snacks and drinks at a local grocery store:

• 1.5L of bottled water: €0.30/ US$0.30
• soft drink (0.33cl): €0.50/ US$0.50
• domestic beer (0.50cl): €1/ US$1
• bottle of wine (0.75cl): €4.50/ $US4.70
• regular coffee: €1.5/ US$1.6
• 1 kg of apples: €1.20 / US$1.20
• 1 kg of bananas: €1.8/ US$2

How much does transportation in Uzbekistan cost?

Transportation in Uzbekistan doesn’t cost a lot and it’s easy to travel around the country without spending a lot of money.

The best way to travel around Uzbekistan comfortably is by train. They are just slightly more expensive than buses but much more comfortable.

How much does it cost to buy a train ticket in Uzbekistan?

Trains in Uzbekistan are very affordable and a great way to travel around the country.

To give you an idea of how much a train ticket costs, I paid 90.000 UZS ($7) for a regular 2nd class seat from Tashkent to Bukhara on the Sharq train. I paid 180000 UZS ($16) for a regular 2nd class seat from Bukhara to Tashkent on the Afrosiyob (high-speed) train. This was during the high season.

The Complete Guide to Train Travel in Uzbekistan

How much does it cost to take a bus in Uzbekistan?

Taking a bus is a bit cheaper than a regular seat ticket on the Sharq train. A ticket from Tashkent to Bukhara, for example, costs around 7 USD in the low season.

You can nowadays check the bus schedules and buy your tickets online or at the local bus stations. You’ll need your passport to book your seat and it’s better to buy your ticket(s) at least one day in advance.

Uzbekistan also has minibusses that transport people between small towns. The most common ones are called Damas and they cost around €0.10/US$0.10 for distances per km.

It’s the cheapest and most popular means of transport for the locals to travel in Uzbekistan. It’s very easy to take a Dama to get around Uzbek cities or to travel between two different towns. However, it’s not the fastest way as they stop everywhere to pick up passengers.

How much does it cost to take a taxi in Uzbekistan?

You can take a private taxi to get around cities. Just flag them down on the side of the road or, if you have a sim card, install the Yandex Go or Yoko Taxi on your phone. Both apps work in all major cities.

The standard rate is about 4000 UZS per km (€0.30). Don’t pay more than 20.000 UZS for a ride within the city.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Uzbekistan?

Renting a car in Uzbekistan is finally legal. Most car rental companies are based in Tashkent but it’s possible to rent a car in Tashkent and drop it off in other Uzbek cities for an extra fee. The costs for renting a car in Uzbekistan start at $40/day.

How much does it cost to take the metro in Tashkent?

On top of being a great way to get around the city, the metro of Tashkent is almost like a small museum. Visiting it is actually one of the best things to do in Tashkent .

There’s a ticket office at the entrance of every metro station which is indicated on a yellow panel saying “Kassa”.

You pay for the metro in the form of a QR ticket. The price of one ticket is  1400 Uzbeki Som , which is €0.13 or $0.15. You can only use the QR code once and it remains valid up to one hour after purchase.

As long as you don’t exit the station, you can keep riding the metro with only one token. This means that you can visit all the metro stations in Tashkent for only €0.13/ $0.15.

The 1 3 m o s t b e a u t i f u l m e t r o s t a t i o n s i n T a s h k e n t

How much do tourist attractions in Uzbekistan cost?

With tourist attractions in Uzbekistan, I mean the entrance fees for the sites of interest, like the famous Registan in Samarkand, mosques, madrassahs, mausolea, musea, etc.

Most tourist sites have entrance fees between 40.000 and 60.000 UZS ((€3-€5 /US$3-$5). To visit the old city center of Khiva, you have to pay 150.000 UZS (€11.50 /US$12) for a one-day entrance ticket.

A 3-hour guided city tour in one of the Silk road cities costs around €50/ US$50.

The 26 most beautiful and best places to visit in Uzbekistan

How much do I need to tip in Uzbekistan?

It’s not expected to leave tips at a restaurant as the service is automatically included in the bill. However, this is not mentioned on the menu and a lot of foreigners get confused or think they’re scammed once they receive the bill.

They think they’re being overcharged but if you look at the bottom of the bill, you see that  a service fee of 10 to 15%  has been added to the total costs.

You also don’t have to tip the staff at hotels and guesthouses.

The only circumstances where tips are expected – although it isn’t mandatory – is when you’re going on a guided tour. I usually give a 10% tip to the driver/guide/assistant guide.

How much money should I take to Uzbekistan?

Here’s how much money you need for a trip to Uzbekistan (flights not included!) when you’d travel around the country by train, eat at local mid-range restaurants, stay at mid-range guesthouses or hotels and entrance fees to sites of interests in the Silk Road cities – extra activities, private transport and guides not included:

• 7 days in Uzbekistan: €500 – US$550
• 10 days in Uzbekistan: €700 – US$750
• 14 days in Uzbekistan: €1000 -US$1100

Costs of living in Uzbekistan

This is a small extra section for digital nomads or expats interested in living in Uzbekistan for a while. I’ve covered the costs of food and transport above, and here’s how much it would cost to rent a place long-term in Uzbekistan.

An easy option for accommodation in Uzbekistan is renting an apartment on Airbnb if you’re staying in a big city. You’ll find very affordable deals and it can sometimes be even cheaper than staying in a hostel for a short stay.

If you’re wondering what the prices are for renting an apartment on a monthly basis in Uzbekistan, here is an average of what it costs according to Numbeo :

• 1-bedroom apartment in the city center: €470/ US$500
• 1-bedroom apartment outside the city center: €300/ $315
• 3- bedroom apartment in the city center: €815/ $870
• 3-bedroom apartment outside the city center: €515/ $550

For monthly utilities (electricity, heating, water, etc.), you’ll pay around €50/ US$55. Cable internet with unlimited data will cost you around €15/ USD$16 per month and a mobile phone plan with calls and 10GB data around €5/ US$5 per month.

I hope this guide gave you some good insights about how much your trip to Uzbekistan will cost. I’m wishing you a great journey and if you have any questions or updates, please let me and other travelers know in the comments below!

Thanks for your advice, Cynthia,

How do you normally fly from Belgium to Uzbekistan? I tried few airlines (LOT, Turkish, Uzbekistan airlines), all involved long transit time.

Hi Fanny, I fly from Schiphol instead of Brussels, the flights are a bit cheaper and transit times have been good. Hope this helps!

Hi Cynthia, If I move from USA for work, would you please advise me about salary for Managers in Accounting, car prices, Temples other than mosques. Thanks in advance

Hi Naresh, there are no temples as far as I know and I have no idea how much the salary for accounting manager is.

Hello Cynthia! Thank you for the work of writing down all the prices and stuff for the future travellers to Uzbekistan as myself. Can you tell us something about internet connection? And where can we buy a SIM card? Thank you so much

FAKE . The Date is updated reads 2023. The information however is not updated. Thanks Jim
