You leave noisy Tashkent and find yourself in the Tien Shan<\/a> mountain complex. Green or snowy, with sheep and goats on the slopes, tulips and snowdrops in the meadows. For many hours you won't see a soul here. We have collected mountain places a few hours from Tashkent that you will remember for a long time.<\/p>\n

In the mountains of Uzbekistan<\/a> there are lavender and poppy fields, almond groves, coniferous forests and even the three-thousander Chimgan, which is not so difficult to climb. A trip to Tashkent will not be complete without a trip to the mountains. But first, let's take a step back.<\/p>\n

These places cannot always be reached by car, and the journey on foot takes several hours or even days. It\u2019s safe in the mountains – you\u2019re unlikely to be attacked by wolves or people. But we do not recommend going without a guide<\/a>. You can get lost or get into trouble, and it can be difficult to find you where there are no street names. There are many guides in Tashkent who will keep you company or share tips. Or you can consider ready-made tours to Uzbekistan<\/a>. Tiqets.com will<\/a> be able to organize such a trip.<\/p>\n

Jade Lakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many Uzbeks admit that the trip here was the most impressive for them. These lakes are called jade for their amazing deep color. You need to leave early in the morning in pursuit of this beauty; the journey from Tashkent will take 4 hours. But we still include them in our list, because the journey is worth it!<\/p>\n

Tavaxai Waterfall<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Go to Tavaksay waterfall and as a bonus you will also see canyons. The journey there and back on foot will take almost the whole day, the length of the path is 18 km in both directions. But it\u2019s easy to walk along it; there are no steep ascents or descents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Amirsoy<\/h2>\n

Let's simplify the task a couple more points – and recommend you the Amirsoy resort. Just come by car and admire the mountains. Even in the spring they remain snowy. The resort has ski lifts, restaurants, a climbing wall, a ropes course and much more. You can also stay at a hotel here. A great place for a lazy holiday if you love mountains but don\u2019t like walking on them.<\/p>\n

Sinegorye<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A very picturesque area on the border with Tajikistan. It is named Sinegorye for the color of its coniferous forests, but in general it is the Kuraminsky ridge.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Locals admit that the nature<\/a> here is so unique that it is “as if they were not in Uzbekistan.” And in some ways you are right – along the road you will see signs “state border”. Be sure that the border guards will not allow you to accidentally run onto the mountainside of a neighboring country.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

On an easy trek through Sinegorye you will pass meadows and forests, see grazing cows (just like Alpen Gold!), and then high snow-capped mountains above blue-green conifers. Everything around will be so perfect, as if you yourself are inside the painting.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Pulakhtan Plateau<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not the easiest high-altitude trek deep into the Uzbek Tien Shan. It will not be possible to climb to an altitude of almost three kilometers in a day – the hike will last for two or three days. A large flat area in the mountains used to serve as a natural fortress. Many legends were born around it – for example<\/a>, that it is a site for UFOs or Central Asian Shambhala. Come and put forward your own version of this mystical place.<\/p>\n
