The Experience

This circuit is unique and exceptional in several respects: You discover a former kolkhoz - Soviet collective farm. You walk through the cotton fields with the possibility of assisting in the work. You meet the ex-kolkhozians, simple village people but with a heart full of warmth. You discover local life in rural areas. You share pleasant moments with them during a lunch together. You walk along the banks of the Zeravchan River and discover its dry basin allowing you to understand the water problems in Central Asia. You visit fish and bee farms taking advantage of local production. For French-speaking travelers, we can organize a meeting with students who are learning French. You can discover seasonal activities depending on the season (April-May) silkworm breeding, (September) cotton picking etc.
