A travel expert who has visited 76 different countries has revealed which off-the-beaten-track destination she believes is the most underrated. Social media influencer and digital creator Meghan Mitchell named Uzbekistan as the lesser-known country that is most worth a visit. She believes the Central Asian nation and former Soviet republic is "super underrated".
Meghan was particularly impressed by Uzbekistan's stunning architecture and railway infrastructure. The social media influencer said: "I didn’t know much about Uzbek before going and it really is super underrated. The architecture here is mind-blowing and they have an amazing high-speed train system .
" Uzbekistan has 600 kilometres (373 miles) of high-speed railway. Super-fast 160mph trains connect Uzbekistan's capital city, Tashkent, with Bukhara - an ancient city that was a prominent stop on the Silk Road trade route between the East and the West. The Afrosiyob high-speed railway more than halved train travel times between the two cities.
The journey has been slashed from seven hours to just three hours and 20 minutes. Construction on the line began in March 2011 and, incredibly, it opened a little more than six months later in October of that year - at a cost of approximately US$70 million (£52million). Several extensions have been completed since then and further expansions are planned that will connect all the major Silk Road cities in Uzbekistan.
