I traveled the ancient Silk Road from Uzbekistan🇺🇿 to Kyrgyzstan🇰🇬 | Elena Taber

I’ve long been fascinated by the Silk Road- the ancient trade route that once connected East and West. It wound through deserts and mountains, past mosques and markets, across borders that didn’t yet exist. Along this road, goods were exchanged, societies intertwined, cultures shared, and knowledge spread. Driven by that curiosity, I flew across the world to trace part of the Silk Road myself, traveling through Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan in search of its stories. With my sister by my side, we wandered the historic cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, explored Bishkek, and rode horses across the sweeping Kyrgyz steppe- hoping to better understand the richness of this extraordinary region.
