Discover the Impressionist craftsmanship during this two day tour from Tashkent

Beautiful Fergana is the pearl of Uzbekistan and is the heartland of the most famous handicrafts. Fergana Valley is the most famous place for artisans around Uzbekistan. If you want to explore about Uzbekistan's famous handicrafts from the masters themselves, then this two day Fergana Valley Tour is your choice. This itinerary will take you to historical Palace of Khudayar Khan in Kokand city and Juma mosques. You will pass through Islamic masterpieces like Said Akhmad-Khodja Madrasah which is operating today as craft workshops. In Fergana you can visit silk making shops and a factory in Margilan, Kyrgyz carpets making families in Ok Yer village, and see ancient Akhsikent ruins and Rishtan village. Rishtan is famous for its ceramics and the Yodgorlik Silk Factory in Margilan produces silk fabrics with traditional ikat designs. Because of my interest to traditional weaving techniques, Fergana is the recreation for me. It has a lot of potential as the center of traditional handicrafts, like pottery and silk.
