Yes, Uzbekistan’s Fergana Valley is generally safe for solo female travelers. We recommend some cultural awareness to avoid any potential problems. As this is a conservative area, we recommend that women dress modestly with covered shoulders and knees. Uzbek people are overwhelmingly hospitable of foreign visitors and are often quite curious, which may result sometimes in stares.

Walking during the daytime is safe, as is walking in the evening in well-lit areas. Use a taxi app like Yandex Go / Yango  / MyTaxi or hotel-arranged transport to be sure you get a registered or official taxi. Trust your instincts and remove yourself from uncomfortable situations. You’ll find that local people will want to help and make sure you feel safe and comfortable. Thousands of women travel solo through Uzbekistan without any safety problems.
