Urgut Excursion
Samarkand, Uzbekistan
Not far from Samarkand, high in the hills next to the Tajik border, is the town of Urgut. It has one of the best rural markets in Uzbekistan and the people here have their own distinct culture.
Along the way to the town are some excellent views of the Fan Mountains - precursors of the Pamir Mountains further east. A trip here makes for an interesting way to see some of rural Uzbekistan, as well as being a welcome break from the desert.
