Russia does not like Harems
Today was our last day in the Fergana Valley, as tomorrow we leave Kokand (the major Silk Road city in the Fergana Valley) for Tashkent. After a couple of slightly underwhelming days, Kokand has been a treat. As i mentioned in an earlier post, it is the first taste of the type of Silk Road architecture we are going to see over the next week as we …
Biggest walnutforest in the world
Arslanbob is een kleinere gemeente van zo'n 15.000 inwoners hogerop gelegen tegen de bergflanken. Dit plaatsje is vooral gekend vanwege het omringende bos dat bestaat uit verschillende hectares okkernotenbomen.

Mashrutka Into the Fergana Valley
I am finally going into the famous valley, the home valley of the first Mughal emperor, Zahir-Ud-Din Muhammad Babur, aka Babur. Most people may think I went to Uzbekistan just for Samarkand and Bukhara, but Fergana is another reason why I went through all the effort of getting the visa, $140 in total, to get to this country. Don't get me wrong, Samarkand and Bukhara are awesome by themselves but ...
