During our trip through the cities of Uzbekistan, along with the well-known cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, we will also visit Termez. It is one of the centres of Buddhism, which preserved its importance until the Arab invasion. The religion of Buddhism penetrated into the territory of Central Asia from the South, from the territory of Bactria. It reached its apogee during the reign of the Kushan Empire. The religious monuments of that time – fortresses, monasteries, stupas (Kara Tepa, Fayaz Tepa, Zurmala, etc.) are interesting not only for archaeologists, but also for many tourists. Architectural and archaeological monuments, communication with the local people, acquaintance with the history of the country will leave you an unforgettable impression of the trip.
