Ferghana/Marghilan Area

Overview

Introduction

Ferghana is an imperial town with a decidedly Russian-czarist flavor—it was founded in 1877 as a newer, Russian counterpart to nearby Marghilan. Many of its buildings date from the late 1800s and early 1900s. There are a couple of decent hotels in town, which make it a good base for exploring the Ferghana Valley. Before traveling to the city of Ferghana, or anywhere else in the Ferghana Valley, check on the current political situation. About 125 mi/200 km southeast of Tashkent.
