The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office is currently advising against all but essential travel to areas bordering Afghanistan, Tajikstan and Kyrgyzstan other than via authorised crossing points. Uzbekistan's borders are potential flashpoints and there is a risk that uncontrolled border areas may be land-mined.

There is a threat from terrorism in Uzbekistan. Attacks could be indiscriminate and against civilian targets in public places including those frequented by foreigners.
