Highlights
Immerse yourself in the unique and rich cultural heritage of Karakalpakstan. We will head to the Chimbay district, where you'll find an array of craft workshops.
At the Uyshi workshop, you will gain firsthand experience of the processes involved in producing the traditional Karakalpak yurt. Additionally, you'll witness carpet weavers creating beautiful strips to adorn the yurt’s framework and interior.
Another village, Khalkabad, features authentic Karakalpak houses with flat roofs. This charming place is located near a canal where reeds flourish. The local residents are skilled in harvesting these reeds and crafting reed mats known as "shiy," used for yurt decoration.
During your visit, you'll participate in a master class on traditional Karakalpak bread-making and learn how to prepare Zhuer Gurtuk from jukar flour, as well as the popular oil-fried pieces of dough known as baursaks.
Join us in exploring this fascinating tour and uncover the hidden treasures of Karakalpakstan!
