From Andijan, visit Margilan and Rishtan before continuing to Kokand for the night. The plan allows an hour each for the pottery workshop and Yodgorlik Silk Factory.
What you will see in the valley
Each town has its own character: Andijan's architecture, Rishtan's potters, Margilan's silk weaving and Kokand's palaces. This trip brings you closer to the work behind a souvenir and the history behind a patterned façade.
Day 1 · Andijan
Jami complex and craft centre
After the morning train, visit the Jami complex and Hunarmand craft centre. The first day's sightseeing stays in Andijan, followed by dinner and your first night in the valley.
Day 2 · Rishtan
A pottery workshop
Watch a shape take form on the potter's wheel and examine local patterns in a ceramics workshop. There is time to buy a piece you like; a hands-on workshop can be arranged separately.
Day 2 · Margilan
Yodgorlik Silk Factory
At Yodgorlik, silk takes shape in threads, looms and patterns. Your guide explains the tradition, and you can see whichever stages of production are running on the day of your visit.
Day 3 · Kokand
Khudoyar Khan Palace
The tiled façade of Khudoyar Khan Palace sets the scene for your final day. After Kokand's historic sites, there is time for a walk. You reach the station by 15:45 for the 16:48 train.
