The fact that international textile practise has outdone almost all the local fashion in the world at a large scale is not necessarily true in case of Uzbekistan. The silk of Uzbekistan is widely popular around the world. We can see some of the most original and visually dramatic examples of Central Asian silk in the national textiles of Uzbekistan. One of these is a fabric embroidered with silk threads, called "Suzani" and another called "Ikat" which is woven with hand-spun silk yarn.If you want to read more about Central Asia, please visit our blog herehttps://www.centrasiatours.com/traveljournal---------------Swipe left and see more content from Roberto Pataki of Pinterest 😎 Link in bio us on Facebook: ---------------CTTO: mamanushka.com and dookinternational.com/

Po-i-Kalan or Poi Kalan, is an Islamic religious complex located around the Kalan minaret in Bukhara, Uzbekistan.The complex is located in the historic part of the city. Since 713, several ensembles of main mosques were built in this area, to the south of the Ark citadel. One of these complexes, burned down by Genghis Khan during the siege of Bukhara, was built in 1121 by the Karakhanid ruler Arslan-khan. The Kalan minaret is the only one of the structures of Arslan-han complex that was kept safe during that siege.If you want to read more about Central Asia, visit our profile.---------------Swipe left and see more content 😎 Link in bio us on Facebook: ---------------CTTO: Travelers Society

Traditional Uzbek women’s suit consists of plain khan-atlas tunic-dress and wide trousers. Holiday garments were made of satin fabric richly embroidered with golden thread. Women’s headdress consists of three elements: a skull-cap, kerchief and turban. An essential part of traditional holiday garments of Uzbek women are gold and silver jewellery: earrings, bracelets, necklaces. Surkhandarya women most of all prefer the colors of red nuance as a symbol of well-being. The embroidery pattern was chosen not by chance, it always had magic or practical function. One could judge about the owner’s social status by the patterns, though sometimes they bear other meanings.If you want to read more about Central Asia, please visit our websitehttps://www.centrasiatours.com/---------------Swipe left and see more content from Indyguide 😎 Link in bio us on Facebook: ---------------CTTO: Nabikhan Utarbekov

Sometime after Genghis Khan became the ruler of the Mongol Horde, and consequently, the Great Khan - he started sending envoys and messengers across the known world connected through the Silk Road.

At his sacking of Bukhara, he entered the old masjid, with his shoes. Trampling over the rights, traditions, and beliefs of the Muslims in the citadel, he said: “I am your god’s punishment towards you for failing to live up to your religion.”

It's darker than dark. A solid beam of torchlight punches through the blackness ahead where giant, unseen towers of rock point up to a night sky crazed with billions of stars.

It's cold, too. Two o'clock in the morning, late winter cold. Breaths of mountain air rasp in and out of lungs as the small group hauls gear higher up the side of the invisible canyon.

Lights are positioned. Tripods and cameras assembled.

04/10/2020

The traditional coat worn by the Kyrgyz - the chapan - is no longer as commonly worn as it used to be, having been replaced in the main by leather jackets and Russian- style sports gear for many younger Kyrgyz. It is, however, quite commonly worn by older men in rural areas. The chapan, designed for warmth and comfort whilst on horseback, is a type of three-quarter length coat that is padded like a dressing gown. In some cases a felt cloak is worn over the top of it, while underneath an open, cotton shirt called a jegde is worn, with baggy trousers that are sometimes fur-lined in winter (during which season the customary kalpak is replaced by a fur hat called a tebetey or a telpek). Light leather boots are worn on the feet, over which rubber slip-on over-boots are pulled on, to be removed whenever a dwelling is entered.

Women's dress tends to consist of long dresses in rich dark colours such as maroon, although the colour of preference varies from tribe to tribe. Most married women wear headscarves, which in summer at least is tied at the back of the head to expose the neck. The traditional Kyrgyz woman's costume of a tall headdress and white veil that surrounds the face and neck is now only usually worn on special occasions, such as horse sports and folklore events staged for tourists, and sometimes at weddings.

27/09/2020

One of the popular tourist attractions in Kyrgyzstan is the Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Karakol. This is one of something like forty orthodox churches in the country, and a fine example of architecture and its checkered history stands as a witness to the commitment and dedication of the community of the faithful.

The story of the church goes back to July, 1869, when Karakol was basically a garrison town established as an outpost on the edges of the Tsarist Russian Empire. A chapel was established in the city centre to serve the Cossacks and other troops sent here, and a small brick building on stone foundations was erected.

Kyrgyz clothing reflects the region and the local way of life, with designs and materials drawn from nomadic life.  

Wool, felt, leather, animal hide and coarse cloth constitute the primary materials of Kyrgyz clothing, and decorations are based on tribal traditions and also drawn from nature.

16/09/2020

Tash Rabat is a well-preserved 15th century stone caravanserai in At Bashy district, Naryn Province, Kyrgyzstan located at an altitude of 3,200 meters.

As early as 1888, Russian doctor and traveler Nicolay Lvovich Zeland suggested that it was originally a Nestorian or Buddhist monastery. Research undertaken at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s by the Institute of History of the Kyrgyz Academy of Sciences concluded that Tash Rabat was originally built as a Nestorian monastery in the 10th century, although no Christians artifacts were found during excavations.

As the Kyrgyz are an animal herding people, their clothes tend to be made from the wool and leather of livestock animals they raise.

In the winter, many Kyrgyz wear felt covering with sleeves — a kementay — and white felt boots. A “chapan” coat with a high collar is popular among the men and women. The most common footwear among the Kyrgyz are boots with high tops and narrow, slightly turned-up noses, often worn with paypaq, thick felt stockings.

There must be something to waking up every morning, getting up from bed, walking to your closed, large and dark, windows, only to open them and discover the wonder of a city seated right by the foot of the most beautiful mountain range in Central Asia.

Bishkek, is that city. Founded by the Sogdians, an ancient Iranian civilization who built their caravan rest stop for Silk Road merchants traveling from East Asia to the west through the Tian-Shan mountain range.

The Atacama Desert in Chile and Peru, Great Victorian Desert in Australia, even the Sahara do not have a candle in comparison to the beauty of Altyn Emel. 

The Kazakh government, in an attempt to preserve its pristine nature and biodiversity, as well as archaeological and historical monuments, made the land a national park on April 10, 1996.

Altyn Emel is the largest reserve in Kazakhstan and part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s (UNESCO) world heritage. Approximately 260 kilometers north of Almaty. It covers an area larger than most metropolitan cities in the US. The large spectacle of its canyons and cliffs were bored through the rocks by ancient long-gone rivers.

Straddling the banks of the Ishim river, Towers of the Sun is designed to act as a public bridge across its lower levels, with spaces set aside for offices, homes and a hotel. The plans also include a terrace on the building’s roof, as well as designs to harness the power of the nearby river in a bid to bring the building’s potential energy needs down to almost zero.

Big Almaty Lake is natural alpine reservoir. Like the vast majority of lakes in the Tien Shan mountains, the lake appeared as a result from number of earthquakes. Above the lake rise the three main peaks that can be seen from the northern end of the dam: the peak of Councils - on south-east, the peak Ozerny - on the south and the peak Tourist - on the south-west of the lake.

14/08/2020

Women wear a shirt-like garment known as a koylek. Different fabrics are used, with more-expensive fabrics for festive wear and common fabrics for everyday use. The koylek is made by folding a piece of fabric in half and sewing the sides from the armpits to the bottom hem.

A koylek usually worn by unmarried Kazakh girls is typically made from a light, soft fabric which accentuates the waist. Kunikey means "sun-like" in Kazakh, and the word is used to describe this type of clothing. Kazakh girls wear trousers made of sheepskin, homespun cloth, and heavy cotton fabrics. They may be short (shalbar) or long (dalbar).

A kupe is a coat worn by women and men which is typically made of fox fur or, occasionally, goatskin. It is usually lined with camel or sheep wool and hemmed with otter fur on the sleeves for warmth during early spring and fall. A woman's kupe is distinguishable from a man's by its embroidered collar.

11/08/2020

Nur-Sultan is the second-coldest national capital in the world after Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, a position formerly held by Canada's capital, Ottawa, until Nur-Sultan attained capital city status in 1997. Nur-Sultan has an extreme continental climate with warm summers (featuring occasional brief rain showers) and long, very cold, dry winters. Summer temperatures occasionally reach 35 °C (95 °F) while −30 to −35 °C (−22 to −31 °F) is not unusual between mid-December and early March. 

Typically, the city's river is frozen over between the second week of November and the beginning of April. Nur-Sultan has a well-deserved reputation among Kazakhs for its frequent high winds, the effects of which are felt particularly strongly on the fast-developing but relatively exposed Left Bank area of the city.

Kazakh clothing, worn by the Kazakh people, is often made of materials suited to the region's extreme climate and the people's nomadic lifestyle. It is commonly decorated with elaborate ornaments made from bird beaks, animal horns, hooves and feet. Although contemporary Kazakhs usually wear Western dress, the Turkic people wear more traditional clothing for holidays and special occasions.

The name "Gates of Hell" was given to the gas crater by the locals of a town nearby called Darvaza - with the town’s name literally translated to “Gates” in Turkmen, referring to the fire, boiling mud, and orange flames in the large crater.

The crater itself is known to geologists as the Darvaza Gas Crater.

The Turkmen are an ethnic group who speak a form of Western Ghuz (Oghuz) Turkic. Apart from Afghanistan, Turkmen also live in Iran, Turkmenistan and other parts of the former Soviet Union.

The basic dress of a Turkmen woman traditionally consists of under trousers (balaq), a dress (koynek), and a headdress of some kind. In addition, some groups also have a face veil (yasmak), a sash (sal qusaq, bil qusak), an indoor coat (cabit or kurte), and for outdoor wear, a second coat (chyrpy).
