Today it is partly dilapidated, but still easy to walk. The area is part of a nature reserve. There are many flowering plants growing now in May. The last

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.

That is the huge lake Aydar K'ol. The blue, green and brown of the horizon flow into one another and seem almost

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. The fun ends on a snowfield. We climb the last 500 meters on foot on snow and stay away from the middle of the valley

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). The path is easy at first, but then becomes steep and slippery. This causes us some difficulties later on the way

This hike is a good end to our trip through Uzbekistan. We are about 150 km from Afghanistan on the edge of a mountain range. The deep gorge can be seen from far away. We spent the night in Buyont, about an hour's drive from the gorge.
