What to expect

8:00 - departure from Tashkent

9:30-11:30 - modern ski resort Amirsay

We will climb on a cable car at an altitude of 2,290 meters, from where you can see the panoramic views of the Chimgan Mountains. You will have plenty of time for a walk on the summit, photos and a leisurely contemplation: the Great Chimgan, the picturesque peaks of Kumbel, Jar, and the ranges of the Ougam-Chatkal Natural Park stretching to the valley of the River Nurekatasaza.

11:45-12:25 - Chimgan resort

The rocking ropeway takes you to a lookout overlooking the same peak, but from another perspective - with each turn of the cable car, the landscape comes alive.

12:45-13:05 - Charles Reservoir observation points

Here, water plays with colors: from gray to bright azure, depending on the mood of the sky. In summer you can soak up the cool of its waves, and in winter just listen to the wind playing a melody on the water’s surface.

13:25-13:55 - Hodzykent: petroglyphs and platanas

A walk through the territory of Hodžikent - an encounter with the deep history of the region. On the cliffs - petroglyphs of the Neolithic and Enolithic eras, created thousands of years ago. Next to the grove of ancient Chinars (plataners), some more than 1,000 years old.

13:55-14:55 - cozy lunch at a local restaurant.

14:55-16:10 - return to Tashkent.
