Uzbekistan
Travel Blogger: inbetweentravels
Favourite time of year to visit Uzbekistan
"The best time to visit Uzbekistan is in the shoulder season (April, May, September or October) to enjoy pleasant temperatures. However, if you are a fan of skiing, you can try the winter season too!"
@inbetweentravels's Top Tips
"Travel by train! The trains in Uzbekistan are amazing. You can either choose the older but comfortable sleeper train or travel with the 'Afrosiyob', with a 250 km/h speed."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
What do you love most about Uzbekistan?
"The people are so friendly and helpful! Also, the destination is not widely known yet, despite the amazing architecture and culture."

Favourite time of year to visit Gudauri
"Summer, because the green lush mountains are really amazing and beautiful. Everything is serene, it makes me calm and it's very refreshing to the eyes."
Benefits of a tour guide for Gudauri
"I took a tour guide going to Gudauri, it is very convenient and easy plus I got to know a lot of information about Gudauri and the entire country as well. That’s what you get when you talk to a local!"
Must pack items for Gudauri
"Always ensure that you bring sunscreen, sunglasses, some warm clothes as it gets very windy and cool, a bottle of water and last thing - comfy shoes!"
Why did you visit Georgia?
"Georgia is an underrated country. Not every tourist would tell you that they want to go to this country. Lately, I have been fascinated by not-so-touristy places in the world."

Best tip for off-roading...
"Sometimes off-roading takes you to places where you don't want to go. Like a swamp... So before driving into an unknown area discover the road by foot. Otherwise, you will end up like we did."

@Our.overland.adventures's Top Tips
"The Seven Lakes is known for its blue lakes. One tip! Drive around all of the lakes as you can see the colours change due to the sun. The lakes will go from super blue to almost green! STUNNING!"

What do you love most about Bishkek?
"A real mixture of ex-Soviet Union architecture blended with an up-and-coming modern city surrounded by beautiful snow-capped mountains - there’s something magical about this city."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Don’t miss...
"The Central Mosque in Bishkek is the largest mosque in Central Asia. It opened in 2018 and is modelled on Istanbul’s Blue Mosque. With its towering minarets and beautiful interior, it is absolutely awe-inspiring. "
@travellustlarry's Top Tips
"Make sure you don’t miss the changing of the guard, Kyrgyz-style. This is on the hour in Ala-Too Square, you will see the guards goose-stepping across the square to guard the Kyrgyz flag. "
A worthy day trip…
"Burana Tower is an easy day trip from Bishkek and well worth a visit. This ancient minaret is one of Central Asia’s most important Silk Road sites and once stood at 45 metres tall."
Did you know ?
"The national hat of Kyrgyzstan is the Kalpak. Made with felt, it has been used by generations of nomads for protection from heat, cold and rain. You will see many elderly men wearing one with pride!"
