Uzbekistan 2015 - Harry Jans

Uzbekistan 2015

This was the first part of an AGS tour to Uzbekistan & Tajikistan in April/May 2015.
We started in Tashkent and drove to Samarkand with its unique blue tilled Madrasahs and Mosques. Samarkand was a important city on the Silk Road. We botanized one mountain, which is just one hour drive from Samarkand. Then we drove to the border with Tajikistan for the second part of our trip.
