Daytrip From Khiva to Savitsky Museum & Mizdakhan & Chilpik
1.Daytrip From Khiva to Savitsky Museum & Mizdakhan & Chilpik
Ride in private air-conditioned transport from Khiva or Urgench to the Savitsky Museum, Chilpik Tower of Silence, and Mizdakhan Necropolis. You get hotel pickup and drop-off for up to three people, but tickets, lunch, and a guide cost extra. Expect a long day and limited English from some drivers.
“We left at 9 a.m., the journey Khiva-Nukus took three hours, but thanks to the landscape, it was like a dream. Villages with fruit trees, white cotton fields, then the desert with its strange shrubs. Our first stop was the museum, which was absolutely worth seeing, with exciting arrangements of paintings compared with handcrafted objects. On the way back, we took a look at the Shilpiq Tower, a spiritual landmark like no other, where desert and oasis merge. The driver who accompanied us was extremely polite and courteous. We deliberately skipped Mizdakhan, as the museum and Shilpiq were enough for us that day. 10/10 experience and highly recommended.”
