Khiva, Uzbekistan
Khiva isn't a city you just visit β it's a place that quietly pulls you in. Behind its towering minarets and sunbaked walls lies a world of whispers, texture, and time. This intimate 4-hour journey takes you through Ichan Kala's pathways less traveled: clay walls that remember everything, courtyards full of laughter, and doorways carved by hands long gone. This isn't about checking off sights β it's about feeling a city from the inside out.
Detailed route map for Khiva: A Step Back in Time - 4-Hour Walking Discovery will be available soon.
As the city stirs to life, we begin our walk toward Bagcha Darvaza β the northern gate of the ancient Ichan Kala. In the soft light of dawn, we'll climb onto the city walls, where silence meets the stories of centuries.
β’ Walk to Bagcha Darvaza gate, climb city walls, enjoy panoramic views, explore fortifications
From above, we follow the winding path into the lesser-seen part of Ichan Kala β the residential quarter. This is where the heart of Khiva still beats with lived-in, local, and deeply rooted energy.
β’ Explore residential quarter, visit local courtyards, meet neighborhood families, discover hidden alleys
In a small corner of this quiet neighborhood, we'll visit a tiny bakery β just a room with a clay tandoor, a wooden table, and two women who've perfected the rhythm of baking Khiva's beloved non bread.
β’ Visit local bakery, observe bread making process, taste fresh non bread, learn about traditional techniques
In the shade of a historic madrasah, the tap of chisels echoes β slow, steady, patient. Here, craftsmen keep alive Khiva's most revered tradition: monumental wood-carving. We'll end at the sacred Pahlavan Mahmud Complex with its unique turquoise dome.
β’ Visit woodcarving workshop, meet master craftsmen, explore Pahlavan Mahmud Complex, learn about local patron saint
