Best for: Three blue-tiled cities and then the high pastures the caravans crossed to reach them
The Silk Road in 13 days: Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva and the Kyrgyz jailoo
Tashkent → Samarkand → Bukhara → Khiva → Osh → Song-Köl → Bishkek
The cities first — a square of madrasas that stops conversation, a working old town nobody has prettified, a walled desert capital — and then up into the Tian Shan, where the summer pastures are still used the way they were when the caravans came through.
