Routes with only 2-3 geometry points are held back from the line layer until fuller data is available.
Live camera streams open directly inside the popup when the source exposes an embeddable player or stream. Kyrgyz cameras and temperature data are shown via kg.camera with rights holder attribution. Extra Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyz camera points from youwebcams.org are deduped against mirrored kg.camera entries. kg.camera / youwebcams.org

Places
Field check requiredAfrasiab is the place that gives pre-Timurid Samarkand a real frame, especially through the wall paintings, finds and archaeological context of the old settlement ridge. It is one of the best 'understanding stops' in the city rather than one of the loudest postcard sights.
Field check requiredAk-Saray survives as a ruin, but the portal towers are powerful enough to explain Timur's imperial ambitions without much imagination. Pair it with Shahrisabz instead of treating it as an isolated monument.
Field check requiredAmir Timur Square is not a long monument stop so much as the clean central reference point of modern Tashkent, linking museums, boulevards and hotel districts. Use it as an orientation anchor between older heritage quarters and the broader civic city.
Field check requiredThe old citadel of Bukhara is less about one perfect facade and more about understanding how the city functioned as a fortified court. Give it time for ramps, courtyards and museum rooms rather than just the gate photo.
Field check requiredAyaz Kala is the most immediately dramatic fortress stop in Ellikkala, with isolated mud-brick walls rising out of the desert basin and a ridge approach that still feels remote even on a day trip. Light matters here: late afternoon gives the cleanest relief and the least punishing heat.
Field check requiredAydar is a genuine landscape pause after cities and desert transit: open water, low horizon and space rather than a monument script. Conditions around shores and services vary, so plan it as a flexible nature stop.
