Review of the 1.5-day Khiva to Aral Sea tour, with Muynak ships, desert forts, a yurt night, costs, tips, and practical advice.

“Dire che è stata un’esperienza ‘oltre le aspettative’ è quasi riduttivo. Il paesaggio, le persone e l’atmosfera sono stati così coinvolgenti da farmi sentire parte della storia del luogo, pur nella consapevolezza dei cambiamenti avvenuti nel tempo. Cultura, arte, ambiente e tradizioni: tutto questo prende vita lungo il tour, che senza Islom sarebbe stato certamente meno divertente e immersivo. Islom è una guida attenta, professionale, gentile e curiosa. Grazie a lui abbiamo scoperto aspetti inediti della storia e della vita quotidiana del Karakalpakstan, sentendoci sempre al sicuro e accompagnati da una persona affidabile e umanamente straordinaria. Ho apprezzato molto anche la possibilità d...”

Daytrip From Khiva to Savitsky Museum & Mizdakhan & Chilpik

14.Daytrip From Khiva to Savitsky Museum & Mizdakhan & Chilpik

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 13 reviews · 8 hours · from $128

Review of the Khiva to Savitsky Museum, Mizdakhan, and Chilpik tour, with practical advice on cost, timing, transport, and what to expect.

“We left at 9 a.m., the journey Khiva-Nukus took three hours, but thanks to the landscape, it was like a dream. Villages with fruit trees, white cotton fields, then the desert with its strange shrubs. Our first stop was the museum, which was absolutely worth seeing, with exciting arrangements of paintings compared with handcrafted objects. On the way back, we took a look at the Shilpiq Tower, a spiritual landmark like no other, where desert and oasis merge. The driver who accompanied us was extremely polite and courteous. We deliberately skipped Mizdakhan, as the museum and Shilpiq were enough for us that day. 10/10 experience and highly recommended.”
