Central Asia offers very good opportunities to feel yourself local staying with families and watching or participating in their traditional activities. It is possible to live in yurts with nomads, in kishlaks (villages) in various regions of Central Asia, in mountains and in the deserts. These are not artificial folk villages for tourists, but real ones with local people doing their everyday work: gardening, harvesting, taking care of the animals, making felt rugs etc.

For those who would like to look deeper in real and share everyday activities with local people will certainly find charming places in Uzbekistan and in other Republics of Central Asia. There are all kinds of locations, real and not tourist where the immersion will be most realistic. It is possible to stay in yurts with nomad families, in small villages in the mountains or deserts. You can join locals while harvesting, making felt carpets, taking care of the animals or you can walk around the village and watch and talk to local people about their life and dreams.

In Uzbeksitan you can stay in small kishlak and see how life goes in this place. In Turkmenistan you can stay with nomads in the desert or in the mountains, and learn how camels help in everyday life. In Tadjikistan in Pamir region there are small villages hidden amidst amazingly beautiful Pamir mountains. There people breed granting-oxen and you may help them or learn more about these animals.

In Central Asia the contrast between modern towns and cities and small distant villages is still huge. In some aspects of life in these places it seems to be frozen in time, you fell like getting back for ages, but at the same time you will find modern satellite receivers or mobile phones or some other facilities.

All of the described above is definitely not a tourist show, but real people and real life, which you can see and even participate as a most welcomed guest.
