🏜️ Unveil the hidden heart of Uzbekistan’s far west
In this issue, Visit Uzbekistan travels to a lesser-known yet deeply fascinating destination: Karakalpakstan — a land shaped by ancient myths, resilient traditions, and surreal landscapes.
Our journey begins with the Seven Wonders of Karakalpakstan (p.12), inviting you to discover mysterious fortresses, sacred sites, and untouched natural beauty. Explore Nukus (p.18), the republic’s capital, where art meets quiet modernity, and meet Zhenisbek Piyazov (p.20), an opera singer whose voice has echoed far beyond the steppe.
Inside you'll find:
🎧 Stihia Festival — The sound of the future on the dried seabed of the Aral Sea (p.24)
🌿 Badai-Tugai Nature Reserve — A lush sanctuary along the Amu Darya River (p.26)
🎭 Karakalpak Culture — Costumes, customs, and echoes of an ancient steppe civilization (p.30)
🏯 Kala Fortresses — A “Land of a Thousand Fortresses” and the ghosts of desert royalty (p.32)
🌊 Aral Sea & Ustyurt Plateau — Haunting beauty in a transformed land (pp.40 & 44)
🍲 Karakalpak Cuisine — Hearty dishes and nomadic flavors unique to this region (p.48)
🧵 Sustainable Fashion — Azucar Moreno's bold new project across Karakalpak landscapes (p.36)
🖌️ Art of Patterns — Meet the master craftsman who sees life in every curve (p.38)
From ship graveyards to palatial melodies, and from sun-scorched ruins to bustling bazaars, this issue shows that Karakalpakstan is not the end of the world — it’s a different one.
Visit Karakalpakstan — the edge of Uzbekistan, full of beginnings.
