Daytrip from Khiva to Nukus Museum, Mizdakhan and Chilpik Kala
Duration
12 Hour
Journey from the oasis of Khiva into the rugged heart of the Karakalpakstan desert for an extraordinary, full-day expedition that spans thousands of years of human history. This unique itinerary seamlessly blends the eerie mysteries of ancient religions with a jaw-dropping look at forbidden Soviet art. Traverse the shifting sands to stand on a 2,200-year-old Zoroastrian "Tower of Silence", decode centuries of myth at one of Central Asia’s most sacred necropolises, and step into the "Louvre in the Desert"—home to a legendary, multi-million dollar collection of banned avant-garde masterpieces. Perfect for history buffs, art lovers, and adventurous spirits looking to uncover a completely different side of Uzbekistan.
