Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would book with them again.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. No hesitation recommending them.

Questions people ask
No. Uzbekistan is visa-free for Indian passport holders for up to thirty days, which is recent and is why the country has become reachable at short notice.
