Over 30 Years Offering Once-in-a-Life-Time Adventures
After moving to the United States from my native Bukhara, Uzbekistan, I continued the work I love—crafting immersive, culturally rich travel experiences—and founded Silk Road Treasure Tours, a boutique travel company specializing in private and luxury group tours to the most extraordinary corners of the world: Central Asia, the Caucasus, Mongolia, and the China Silk Road.
Now in 2026, we proudly celebrate 31 years of excellence in travel. I am beyond honored to be recognized globally, including by Condé Nast Traveler as a Top Travel Specialist for Central Asia and Caucasus, but what truly matters is the trust and joy of our travelers. That’s what keeps us inspired every day.
