Best time to visit Uzbekistan

Hearing traditional music, feeling the desert heat on your back, and receiving a warm welcome from the Uzbeks are things you’ll never forget.![]()

In high summer, the land is parched, so there isn’t much to look at in the countryside, and temperatures soar well over 30°C. This is not the best time to visit Uzbekistan as it is unpleasant when you’re walking around and you won’t want to take your time admiring the monuments. On the flipside, winter can dip to freezing. For optimum comfort temperature-wise and a visual feast of wildflowers, gold, and dark green across the lush Uzbek landscape, plan your trip for April and May or autumn, which is when you’ll experience the best of all it has to offer.

Jonny Bealby from our supplier, Wild Frontiers:
“Spring and autumn are the best times for avoiding the heat of the summer, when temperatures in Bukhara regularly climb above 40°C. Don’t go too late – winters out there in the Central Asian deserts are brutal.”

Andrew Appleyard, from our supplier Exodus:
“May is my favourite time of year there, or late September. Later than that, it does get really cold down near the Afghan border, but it is warmer further north. There is a huge amount of different temperate zones throughout the country; you find massive variants. We went to bed some nights with all our clothes on, because some of the places we stayed didn’t have heating. But I do love it there!”

EVENTS IN UZBEKISTAN
Boysun Bahori
Boysun Bahori is one of the most culturally significant annual events in Uzbekistan’s calendar – a spring festival held in mountainous Boysun in the Surkhandarya Province. Dating back to pre-Islamic times, it is a colourful celebration of costumes, songs, dance and stories that have stood the test of time.
