You're wondering: When is the best time to travel Uzbekistan to visit? Uzbekistan is a real insider's tip among travel destinations. Since most of the adventures take place outside in the untouched nature of the country, it is important to have pleasant temperatures to get the most out of your Uzbekistan trip.

Weather and climate in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan has a predominantly continental climate, which means that summers are very hot and winters are very cold. In July, the average temperature rises to an average of 26 to 32 °C under cloudless skies, reaching peaks of up to 40 to 50 °C in the desert areas. In the north and mountains, severe winters last up to five months with average January temperatures of -6 °C, while in the southern areas winters are shorter and somewhat warmer. Most parts of the country receive very little rainfall, leaving deserts such as the Kysylkum Desert to dominate the landscapes. 

The best time to travel are therefore the Springfrom April to June and the Fallfrom September to October. At this time, the temperatures are very pleasant and you would not have to worry that it could be too cold or too hot and especially to discover the cities, perfectly suitable.

Best time to visit Uzbekistan: Samarkand &Amp; Buxoro

Samarkand and Buxoro transport every visitor into another world and it's like suddenly walking through the backdrop of 1001 nights as you stroll through the streets. In Samarkand you can discover countless architectural wonders of the Timurid dynasty, while Buxoro is a very well preserved Silk Road street that leads to the UNESCO Heritage Site heard. The best time to visit the cities is between April and June or August and September. In July, the extreme heat can be unbearable for tourists, at least if they come from more northern countries and are not used to the temperatures.

Best time to visit Uzbekistan: Outdoor Sports

Not far from the capital there are many diverse opportunities to do activities such as kayaking or rafting. The best time to try different sports outside or go hiking is in September and October.

The valley of Angren is ideal for excursions to admire the breathtaking gorge. Here you can also make tours by horse, camel or mountain bike. The best time to visit the valley is in the spring, between March and May, when you can still see different species of birds. 

If you are planning trekking tours to the high plateaus of the Tian Shan, it is better to choose the warmer summer months, because the higher you hike, the cooler it gets. The warm season is also best for climbing tours at pleasant temperatures at dizzying heights. 

Best time to travel Karakum Desert

In winter, it is very cold in the north of the country and temperatures can drop to -40 °C. In the region of Karakalpakistan there are also Siberian winds. Therefore, it is best to avoid the winter. In March there can be heavy rainfall and in July the temperatures are very hot. However, the rest of the year is perfect for exploring the desert and the small but beautiful oasis town of Xiva.
