Framed as a story of discovery, this episode of Silk Road Adventures is a unique journey across a lesser-travelled land where nature, history, and tradition blend seamlessly.

Uzbekistan’s southernmost region is less travelled and far less transformed by the footprints of modern tourism. Surkhandarya is remarkable in the way it connects the diverse cultures of its people through prayer, philosophy, and art.
In this episode of Silk Road Adventures, we visit the regional capital Termez, an ancient city and a spiritual and historical crossroads. We continue our journey nearby at Fayaz-Tepa and Qoratepa, sites where Buddhism flourished.
The next stop is the mountain town of Boysun, one of the oldest inhabited areas of Central Asia, recognised by UNESCO for its living cultural traditions. Finally, we discover the raw landscapes of Xo‘jamayxona, Tangishar Canyon and the Hissar Range.
