9 DAY RESORT & BACKCOUNTRY TOUR IN UZBEKISTAN
Tourism in Uzbekistan is relatively new and ski tourism is even more recent with the first ‘international’ resort opening in 2019. On this trip you’ll visit old and new ski areas which is all part of the adventure. Sightseeing in both Tashkent and Samarkand is a non-negotiable for any Uzbek trip.
