Termez is the hottest city in
Uzbekistan, located on the banks of the Amu Darya River, on the border with
Afghanistan. Though it may be far from other cities, Termez has been important
throughout history as a religious center. Some of the oldest sites are the
remnants of Buddhist monasteries and stupas, complete with colorful frescoes
and detailed statues. Later, Termez converted to Islam, and mosques and
minarets soon followed, with Islamic influences filtering through many of the
architectural monuments. The best tours of Termez show off the multicultural
aspects of the city, and its importance throughout the century, and this Termez
Tour does just that in two days.

The city of
Termez is the final frontier. Few foreigners venture this far south, save those
heading across the border into Afghanistan, and so making the journey seems
like quite an adventure regardless of whether you are continuing across the
border or not. From ancient Buddhist monasteries to medieval mausoleums, there
is plenty to see, all nestled in the sweeping curve of the mighty Amu Darya.

Modern-day
Termez (population 130,000) bears few traces of its colourful cosmopolitan
history. However, set in attractive landscapes on the fringes of town are some
ancient monuments and sites attesting to more glorious times.

Present day
Termez has retained an edgy, Wild West border-town feel. A steady flow of
contraband from Afghanistan crosses the Amu-Darya here on its way to Europe, as
well as contraband alcohol headed into Afghanistan.

North of Termez,
the baked landscape twists and contorts itself into a mesmerising collage of
canyons, cliffs, grottoes, buttes, mesas, peaks and rubble, all rendered in the
tawny, inimitable hues of the desert. This is Surkhandarya, Uzbekistan's
southernmost province. The region's caves provided shelter for primitive humans
some 50,000 years ago, and the area that would become known as the Surkhan
Oasis in the Bronze Age continued for a millennium to function as an important
prehistoric hub of human civilisation.

Today, sparsely
populated Surkhandarya feels a world apart from the rest of Uzbekistan. Off the
highway, transport is more likely to be by donkey than by vehicle, and long
mountain walks might lead you through villages that have little contact with
the outside world. Temporary bazaars erupt seemingly out of nowhere, blanketing
the desert in a pulsating quilt of colour before disappearing. Houses blend
seamlessly with the earth from which they were fashioned.

There are several sights around Termiz that can be visited in a
half-day. The further back in time you travel, dislocated in both time and
space, the more interesting Termez becomes. The Soviet city merges into the
tsarist town to provide some points of interest, but the two previous
incarnations of the city, grouped around Old Termez (six kilometres
northwest of the city) and the Sultan Saodat complex (nine
kilometres east), constitute the region's star attractions.
