A great way to get a first impression of the city Traveling in the bus is comfortable and with the audio guide in different languages it offers a good opportunity to learn something about Tashkent. The start of the bus tour is at the famous Hotel Uzbekistan, Tashkent's first hotel, located on Amir Timur Square. The end of the tour is there again. You can get the tickets for the bus tour at the Hotel Uzbekistan. The tour stops at various places, such as the Minor Mosque or the old city district, where you have some time to watch the place and the buildings. There are also many sights you just drive by, such as the earthquake memorial. So you have the opportunity to get a first impression of the city and then visit some of the sights again with more time. Which of the sights are worth to visit with some more time depends on the interests. For me the Minor Mosque or the old city district have been worth to visit again.

5. One Day Tour to ISKANDARKUL - Live Legend

Bunyod-Tour Travel Company

The name of the mountain Lake Iskanderkul expires on behalf of Alexander the great, who in Tajikistan and Central Asia, Iran and Afghanistan (in the East) is called Iskandari Zulkarnain (Iskander two-horned). The word "Kul" (from the Tajik language – Kul) means "lake", so the name "Iskandarkul" or "Iskanderkul" comes from these two separate words Ikandar+Kul. The validity of this definition is historical; when Alexander the great conquered the communities to come to Central Asia, he passed through this mountain lake and stayed there for a while, then from Central Asia to India. The lake is located at an altitude of 2195 meters above sea level, in the spurs of the Kuhiston mountain node, between the Western extremities of the Hissar and Zerafshan ranges.

Inclusions: Lunch, Private transportation, Parking Fees

Exclusions: - personal costs, alcohol drinks, food etc.
