Uzbekistan
Samarkand

Originally from the Samarkand region and passionate about the French language and culture, I have been a mountain leader and guide in my home country, Uzbekistan, for over 12 years.

I started out as a freelance guide for various travel agencies in the country and then I specialized in hiking, trekking and trail running. Surveying my country over and over again helped me get to know its beautiful places better. I then decided to launch my own company, Samarkand Explore with two friends of mine who are also French-speaking guides.

Visiting the historical cities of the Silk Road such as Samarkand, Bukhara or Khiva symbolizes a classic trip through Uzbekistan. But beyond these cities, the country has beautiful mountains, lakes and deserts that are not often explored by other local agencies. My goal, thanks to my years of experience, is tohelp you discover these areas off the beaten track.

In addition to these hiking trips, I have been organizing trail running trips on the most beautiful routes of Uzbekistan since 2018. I have already taken more than 100 runners through the steppes, villages and mountains. Thanks to a structure dedicated to trail running, Samarkand Running Tours, I continue to explore the most beautiful places of my country with one goal: to make you discover them during your running trips.

Come and travel, explore and marvel at the beauties of the Silk Road.

See you soon on the trails and roads of Uzbekistan!
