    The seven lakes in Tajikistan was interesting. The Charyn canyon, Reina Kench guesthouse in Kyrgyzstan was lovely. All 3 cities in Uzbekistan were fascinating. The crater and Asgabat in Turkmenistan were also highlights.

    Loved it all but the highlights were Samarkand (the great view from the hotel roof), the fort trip and the visit to the Ulug-Beg Observatory. Our main guide Marat was really good and informative, and the local guide in Bokhara was also particularly good.
