Highlights
Step into the heart of Uzbek culture with a sensory-filled culinary tour in Tashkent. Your journey begins at the legendary Chorsu Bazaar, one of Central Asia’s most iconic markets. Wander through its colorful maze of stalls, sampling flavors like kurut (dried cheese balls), dried fruits and nuts while uncovering the market’s layered history—from Silk Road trade to the rhythms of daily life today. Discover the deep cultural significance of bread in Uzbekistan as you explore beautifully crafted loaves from different regions—each with its own unique shape, stamp, and story. Then, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on bread-making masterclass. Shape, form, and decorate your own loaf before slapping it to the hot walls of a traditional tandoor. Finally, enjoy the warm, fresh bread straight from the oven, paired with golden mountain honey and rich Uzbek kaymak cream—a true taste of tradition.

About Tashkent
Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan, an ancient Silk Road city of wide Soviet-era avenues, decorated metro stations, old madrasas and big bazaars.
Tashkent has been a trading city on the Silk Road for over two thousand years, but a major earthquake in 1966 destroyed much of it, and the modern capital was rebuilt with broad avenues, big squares and Soviet-era buildings. The old city, Eski Shahar, survives in pockets, with narrow lanes and mud-brick houses. The Khast Imam complex has madrasas and mosques, and its library holds the Uthman Quran, one of the oldest copies of the Quran.
