There you will see the Land of Seven Lakes - Haftkul.
Picturesque lakes with turquoise water, surrounded by the landscapes of the Fan Mountains, are located 40 kilometers from the small town of Penjakent. The trip to the Seven Lakes lasts the whole day.
You will visit the lakes:
The first is Nezhigon ("eyelash"), at a height of 1640 m.
The second is Soya ("shadow"), at a height of 1740 m.
The third is Gushor, at a height of 1770 m.
The fourth is Nofin, at a height of 1820 m.
The fifth is Khurdak ("baby"), at a height of 1870 m.
The sixth is Marguzor ("meadow"), the largest in the entire chain of lakes, at a height of 2140 m.
The seventh is Khazorchashma ("springs of a thousand"), at a height of 2332 m.
The road from the first lake to the last stretches for 15 kilometers. There are stops at each of the reservoirs, and a full exploration of the sights will last for 4-5 hours. In these places, unusual stories, legends, and original culture have been preserved: primitive petroglyphs were found nearby, and semi-precious stones were mined here in the Middle Ages. You can get to Marguzor by car, but you have to walk to Khazorchashm (optional).
In the evening, we return to the border, cross it, and go back to Samarkand.
