About Toofan

Toofan Singh is the founder and editor of Uzbekistan Wanderer. He started the site in July 2026 to put practical, up-to-date information about travelling in Uzbekistan in one place, and edits every guide against the site's research standards: official sources first, dated fact-checks, and no invented experiences.

Uzbekistan Wanderer is written for independent travellers planning their own route through Uzbekistan: people who want train times, ticket prices and honest trade-offs rather than brochure copy. Toofan decides what the site covers, checks each guide before it goes live, and handles corrections.

How we research

• Official sources first. Visas, train timetables, entrance fees and opening hours are checked against the operator or ministry that sets them.
• Every volatile fact is dated. Prices and rules carry a "last checked" note so you can see how fresh they are.
• No invented experiences. We don't write made-up first-person stories. Where something can't be confirmed, the guide says so and points to the official source.
• Our own graphics. Cover images, maps and charts are designed and drawn by Uzbekistan Wanderer; we don't reuse other people's photographs.

Sources we rely on

• e-visa.gov.uz — visas and entry rules
• Uzbekistan Railways (railway.uz) — train timetables and fares
• UNESCO World Heritage Centre — monument history and listings
• UK Foreign Office travel advice — safety and entry updates
• The Man in Seat 61 — rail booking detail
• Caravanistan — border crossings and Central Asia logistics
