Day 05

• After breakfast, the fifth day takes you to the Kyzylkum Desert, where, after a 2-and-a-half-hour drive, you’ll visit Lake Aydar, a vast body of water surrounded by arid landscapes that contrast with the lake’s serenity.
• You’ll enjoy a picnic on the lake’s shores, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, watching migratory birds that rest here during their long journeys, and observing the native fish that make the lake their home.
• You’ll have the freedom to stroll along its shores or, if you’re up for it, take a dip in its calm waters.
• In the late afternoon, you’ll take a camel ride through the Kyzylkum Desert and enjoy a spectacular sunset unlike any you’ve seen before.
• At night, you’ll immerse yourself in Uzbekistan’s nomadic culture by spending the night in a traditional yurt, a unique experience in the world that you must not miss.
• At the yurt camp, you’ll experience Uzbek nomadic hospitality: enjoying a dinner under the stars, savoring typical dishes like chuchvara; and later, listening to Karakalpak music around the campfire—a complete experience that connects you with the ancestral lifestyle of Central Asia’s nomadic peoples.
