Caravan Hostel

Caravan Hostel is a budget hostel at 174 Abdurauf Fitrat Street in southern Mirobod, in the south-east of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, near the railway line. The street is named after Abdurauf Fitrat, an early twentieth-century Central Asian writer and reformer. The area is residential and practical, with local shops and small eateries, and visitors typically use taxis, ride-hailing apps or the metro to reach Amir Timur Square, Chorsu Bazaar and the other central sights.

The hostel offers dorm beds and private rooms, with wifi and a shared common area where guests can meet other travellers, swap advice about Silk Road routes and plan day trips. Typical rates for the category run from about 100,000 to 250,000 UZS (roughly $8-20) per night for a dorm bed or basic private room, depending on season and dates, so live rates should be checked before booking.

The name evokes the caravan heritage of the Silk Road, and the atmosphere is informal and social, typical of independent hostels in Central Asia. There is no confirmed information on an on-site restaurant, so guests usually eat at nearby cafes and bakeries or travel into the centre for a wider choice of Uzbek dishes such as plov, lagman, samsa and shashlik. Tea houses offer inexpensive meals and a taste of local hospitality.

Service is geared to backpackers, solo travellers and budget visitors who value a friendly base and low costs over a central address. The position near the railway line helps with early train departures, though visitors should confirm transfer times in advance, as morning traffic can slow journeys. Travellers who prefer quiet or privacy should consider a private room and ask about noise levels in shared areas. Writing down the address helps taxi drivers find the entrance without delay.
