Stretching between Uzbekistan’s mountains, the Fergana Valley is known for its fertile lands and cultural legacy. Kokand, once a thriving khanate capital, preserves ornate palaces and mosques, while Margilan remains the country’s silk-weaving hub. 

In Chust, knife makers keep centuries-old craftsmanship alive, and vineyards supply both local tables and international markets.

Beyond trade and craft, teahouses remain central to community life, offering a glimpse into local traditions. Blending history, agriculture, and artistry, the valley remains one of Uzbekistan’s richest cultural landscapes.
