Uzbekistan is the world’s third-largest silk producer, and Margilon is the traditional centre of the industry. Much of the silk you see for sale in Samarkand and Bukhara is in fact made in factories here. Have a walk on traditional market and continue to Yodgorlik Silk factory to see the production process of silk with traditional Ikat patterns (closed on Sundays).

Great introduction to the Fergana valley
Thank for making this great tour possible! Definitely gives the interest in exploring The Fergana valley further!

This tour is long and...
This tour is long and concludes with a five hour drive back to Tashkent, so be prepared. But the tour itself is very good. You get to see the main sites of Kokand and travel into the Ferghana Valley. The visits to the workshops in Rishitan and Margilan are very interesting (be prepared to shop). The landscape is beautiful, so the large amount of time spent in the car is more interesting that one might expect. Dress comfortably, you will be doing a lot of riding in the car.

Hidden gem
Our guide Ulug Beg was very passionate about the history and culture of his country, particularly about the Fergana Valley, which is a bidden gem. It’s a long drive but it’s really worth it. Thank you so much, Ulug Beg!

Fergana built up and all workshops we saw were fake tourist traps
The train trip was great but Fergana is a tourist trap, we saw no original workshops and overall not worth the effort. lots of driving to underwhelming places . sadly not we expected.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Fergana Valley Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tashkent.
How much does Fergana Valley Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tashkent usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fergana Valley Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tashkent is not rushed.
Is Fergana Valley Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tashkent, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fergana Valley Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fergana Valley Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fergana Valley Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tashkent can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tashkent and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fergana Valley Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tashkent within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tashkent?
+
On Outty we rank every Tashkent experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Amirsoy, Chimgan & Charvak – A Full-Day Mountain Tour, Samarkand One Day Tour - Departure From Tashkent, Best Of Tashkent: Amirsoy Skiing Resort, Chimgan and Charvak Lake. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tashkent?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tashkent?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
