Some of the highlights of Fergana Valley include Kokand’s Khudoyar Khan Palace that showcases stunning 19th-century tilework and royal rooms, Andijan’s Devanaboy Mosque and Registan, Margilan’s handicraft centers showcasing handmade silk production and ikat fabrics, Rishtan’s pottery workshops reveal centuries-old ceramic techniques, and Namangan features impressive mosques and parks. To learn about the rich and deep history of the region, visit Aksikent archeological site outside of Namangan City or Mingtepa in Andijan Region.

Also highly recommended is a visit to one of Fergana Valley’s bustling markets like Kumtepa Bazaar in Margilan or Namangan’s Chorsu Bazzar for a view to authentic local life and textiles. Beyond and attractions, one of the most memorable things to do in Fergana Valley is meeting artisans and observing traditional crafts—silk weaving, pottery, woodcarving, knife-making. Many of our CTN Artisan Members offer tours of their workshops and an opportunity to shop directly from the artisan.
