The sights of the second day are widely scattered. We are on the bus until midday. From the Russian Orthodox Church we walk to the Timor Mausoleum and continue across the Registan to the starting point.

City dwellers from Tashkent are relaxing in the Chimgan Mountains. We mingle with the crowd on Sunday. We actually want to hike to a waterfall, but then we decide to go on a quad bike.

Today we are hiking with a local guide. Due to rain the day before, a hike in the Chimgan Mountains was cancelled. As a replacement, we climbed the Little Chimgan (2,066 m above sea level).
