One clear point for Zurmala Stupa — A surviving Buddhist stupa near Ancient Termiz.
Place
The map pin marks this attraction so the stop stays readable in the day plan.
Why this place
Zurmala matters because the route through Ancient Termiz still has a visible Buddhist stupa on the ground, not only museum fragments or low lines of walls. Sources connect the monument with the Buddhist presence of the Kushan period; on site, the traveler sees the surviving brick form and the open ground around it.
What you'll see
The gallery should show condition and scale rather than decoration: the stupa form, brick surface, open ground, and the connection to the archaeological area around it.
How to visit
The visit is short, but it should not feel like a roadside pause. Place Zurmala beside the museum or Fayaz Tepa so the stupa, finds, and monastery remains support each other.
What to add nearby
