Hello Everyone! My name is Shodiyor. I was born and brought up in Samarkand-the ancient capital of Sogdiana. when I entered the institute and first saw a group of tourists with a guide who was giving information about the history of my homeland I understood that my goal was to become a guide. In 2009 I graduated the institute and worked as a teacher of English and French at school number 54 Bulungur district, Samarkand. In 2011 I entered the Magistracy (specialty French language). In 2013 I got my Master's degree. After I started working as a guide. I always believe that there is nothing impossible. I am interested in history, art and my city. My favorite route is from Tashkent Mountains of Nurata with its beautiful nature. Driving from Nurata mountains to Lake Aydarkul where I can experience camel riding along with the tourists in the desert and sleeping in yurts. I love very much summer time when the sun shines and gives its warmth to people. And if you want I am happy to customize the tour for you. Please inquire for a quote. i am a licensed guide with 7 years experience. None

Overview of your Samarkand tour

This adventure tour to Aydarkul Lake is a marvellous mixture of swimming, camel riding and hiking. Besides you can also witness a campfire in the nomad camp - yurt and listen to the live folk songs. During your stay in the yurt , you will get a deeper insight into the daily life and traditions of the nomads. In the evening you will enjoy the campfire and live folk songs. You will take a walk or a camel ride and experience a nomadic life up close in the desert where the nomads and traders with caravans once followed through it. The only thing that brings you back to reality is the electricity and comfortable showers with toilets. You can spend your time swimming, walking along Aydarkul Lake or just relaxing by sitting on the shore.
