Surkhandarya beckons with a rare blend of wild mountains and living traditions. Eco‑cultural visitor centers here act as friendly gateways: part trailhead, part micro‑museum, part tea house where stories are shared. Community guides open paths into juniper valleys of the Gissar Range, lead you to high‑pasture hamlets where felt, clay, and wood are shaped the old way, and reveal archaeological horizons near Termez, where Buddhist monasteries once welcomed caravans.

What you’ll experience

• Hands‑on workshops with artisans: weaving, natural dyeing, woodcarving, and fragrant tandoor bread‑baking.
• Low‑impact hikes to canyons, springs, and bird‑rich slopes; learn to read tracks and plants with rangers.
• Story‑rich visits to Fayaztepa and Kampyr Tepe, where stupas, citadels, and steppe winds frame the Silk Road.
• Evenings of doira rhythms, epic songs, and hearty local cuisine under skyfields of stars.

Travel that gives back

Your visit helps fund rangers, trail upkeep, seed banks, and craft apprenticeships. Small groups, refill stations, and seasonal menus keep the footprint light while keeping benefits local.
