Namangan has officially set a Guinness World Record during the 65th International Flower Festival, which opened on May 24 and will continue until July 12, 2026.

This year, more than 150 million flowers were planted across the region. According to Guinness World Records, “The most flowers planted by a team in one month” was achieved by the Administration of Namangan Region (Uzbekistan).
⠀
During the festival, visitors can enjoy more than 150 events, including concerts, exhibitions, food festivals, folk celebrations, and large-scale floral installations throughout the city. The main festival venues are Babur Park, New Uzbekistan Park, and the Valley of Legends complex.
⠀
For many years, the Flower Festival has remained one of Uzbekistan’s brightest summer events and one of the best reasons to visit the Fergana Valley.
⠀

Uzbekistan welcomed 4 million travelers (foreign citizens) during the first four months of the year - a 30% increase compared to the same period last year.
⠀
According to the Tourism Committee, the number of visitors from China increased 3.5 times, from Malaysia 2.2 times, from Japan 1.6 times, and from the United States 1.4 times. Visitor numbers from France, the UK, Spain, Turkey, and Germany also continue to rise.
⠀
Yet despite this rapid growth, Uzbekistan remains one of those rare destinations many people have heard about - but relatively few have experienced firsthand.
⠀
The Silk Road cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva still retain an atmosphere that many famous destinations lost long ago. You can still walk through ancient streets without overwhelming crowds, speak with local artisans, and experience a part of the world that feels both deeply historic and genuinely welcoming.
⠀
Uzbekistan is changing quickly - infrastructure continues to improve, visa requirements have been simplified for travelers from many countries, and more visitors are adding the country to their travel plans each year.
⠀
For now, however, Uzbekistan still feels like a destination discovered by experienced travelers before the crowds arrive.
⠀
Travel to Uzbekistan with Advantour - whether on a small group tour or a custom-made journey tailored to your interests, we will be happy to organize a trip for you.

Planning a trip to Uzbekistan on your own sounds exciting - until you realize how much careful coordination the journey actually requires.
⠀
Which hotels are truly comfortable, reliable, and located in the heart of the historic cities rather than far from the main attractions?
⠀
Which guides are genuinely professional, deeply knowledgeable, and able to bring history to life rather than simply reciting dates? Will the right guide even be available for your travel dates?
⠀
How do you arrange domestic flights, Afrosiyob high-speed train tickets, and transfers between Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand without wasting valuable travel time?
⠀
Which restaurants do locals actually recommend - and will you spend your evenings searching for a good place to eat instead of simply enjoying the city?
⠀
How much time will you spend comparing reviews, researching routes, corresponding with guides and drivers, and trying to understand what is truly worth seeing?
⠀
Many travelers spend weeks planning an itinerary, only to arrive exhausted before the journey has even begun.
⠀
With Advantour, everything is already arranged by people who live and work in Uzbekistan.
⠀
Our 8-day Classic Uzbekistan Group Tour combines the country’s most important historical cities with carefully selected hotels, experienced local guides, comfortable transportation, domestic flights, Afrosiyob high-speed train travel, and cultural experiences.
⠀
Instead of managing schedules and solving logistical details every day, you can fully focus on what brought you here in the first place - the architecture of Samarkand, the atmosphere of Bukhara, the silence of Khiva at sunset, conversations with locals, and the feeling of finally walking the legendary Silk Road yourself.
⠀
Small groups - maximum 16 travelers.
⠀
100% guaranteed departures – even if there is only ONE traveler
⠀
💲From US$ 1,240 per person
US$ 250 single supplement

The Uzbek Puppet Workshop-Museum in Bukhara is a unique space dedicated to Uzbek puppet theater, showcasing one-of-a-kind handcrafted theatrical puppets rather than ordinary children’s toys. It was founded by Iskandar Khakimov, who initially created an ethnographic performance about Uzbek traditions and later devoted himself entirely to the art of puppet-making.
⠀
The museum’s story began by chance. After one of the performances, a female traveler wanted to buy a puppet that resembled her. Although the puppet was an important character in the production, Khakimov agreed to sell it and was later forced to create a replacement.
⠀
Today, the museum displays papier-mâché dolls about 40-50 centimeters tall, each with its own character, facial expressions, and costume. Many of the figures are inspired by real people the master encountered throughout his life, in films, or on the streets of Bukhara. Visitors often notice a doll that bears a striking resemblance to themselves or someone they know, prompting them to purchase it and later send amusing photos to the museum’s creator - photos that are now displayed in the museum itself.
⠀
Iskandar Khakimov still works in the workshop above the museum, where he handcrafts new characters entirely by hand - from sketching and sculpting to painting and sewing their clothes.

36-Day Silk Road Expedition - A Journey Most Travelers Will Never Experience
⠀
You’ve already seen more of the world than most people ever will in their lifetime. You’ve visited the places everyone talks about - even those “off-the-beaten-path” destinations that now appear in every travel blog.
⠀
The Advantour team invites you to follow a route that once connected the ancient world - and that most travelers have yet to experience.
⠀
9 countries in 36 days along the legendary Silk Road, a route that shaped the course of human civilization - from ancient China to the historic cities of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia.
⠀
If you want to be just another tourist among the millions travelling the world, this tour isn’t for you. But if you want to travel with purpose, depth, and perspective - the 36-day Silk Road Expedition Small Group Tour is exactly what you need!
⠀
Imagine:
You’re standing in Registan Square in Samarkand, a city as old as Rome itself. You realise that the golden age of civilization was never limited to the West.
⠀
You’re travelling through Turkmenistan - one of the most closed-off countries on earth - accompanied by a licensed guide who has spent years building connections that remain out of reach for most travelers.
⠀
You’re in Georgia, sharing wine that has been produced in this region for 8,000 years, and you realise that what you thought you knew about wine was only a brief chapter in a much longer history.
⠀
You complete a 36-day tour, having followed a route that most people - even those who travel extensively - will never see in their lifetime.
⠀
The group is limited to a maximum of 16 people. All transfers, hotels, and professional guides are arranged.
⠀
Tour price: from US$ 10,060 per person
US$ 1,660 single supplement
⠀
Upcoming tour start dates:
June 13
July 27
August 10
August 17
August 24

What to consider before travelling to Central Asia
⠀
The time in Central Asian countries (UTC+5 in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, and UTC+6 in Kyrgyzstan) may differ from the time in your home city by as much as 7-11 hours.
⠀
The Advantour team recommends arriving at least one day before your tour begins so you can adjust to the new time zone, even if only slightly. Here’s what really helps during those first few days: spend time outside in natural daylight as soon as possible - it’s one of the fastest ways to reset your internal clock. Avoid alcohol during the flight and for the first one or two days after arrival. Drink more water than you think you need. And if possible, start shifting your sleep schedule toward Central Asian time a few days before departure.
⠀
We sincerely want every day of your trip to be meaningful, and we’ll take care of every detail of your journey. All that’s left is to make one decision - book your trip.
