Your day in the mountains
Charvak Lake
We begin at Charvak Lake, where turquoise water sits among the mountains of the Western Tian Shan. It is the perfect first stop for photos and fresh mountain air.
Chimgan
Next is Chimgan, the classic mountain escape for people from Tashkent. Ride the chairlift up to the ridge for panoramic views, or, if you are feeling adventurous, try horse riding or paragliding.
Lunch by the river
Halfway through the day we stop at a riverside cafe for mountain kebabs and local tea – a relaxed, authentic taste of Uzbek hospitality.
Sunset at Amirsoy
We finish at Amirsoy Mountain Resort, taking the modern cable car up to 2,100 metres. This is the best place in the region to watch the sun set over the mountains before we drive back to your hotel.

Herbal medicine stop (optional)
(OPTIONAL) If you have back pain I highly recommend you to visit herbal medicine. For 10 years I got back pain 0.7mm 0.5mm and 03.mm pain all the time. Modern medicine did not help me at all, curing with bee stings didn't help me and just by consuming herbal powder over 4 months I got well just 3 years ago.
