Day trips from Tashkent: to the mountains and back in one day
You do not have to travel far for a day trip from Tashkent: the Western Tian Shan mountains are only an hour and a half from the city. Leave in the morning, have lunch in the mountains and be back in the evening — one free day is enough.
Where to go from Tashkent
All destinations are in the Bostanlyk district of the Tashkent Region, close to each other. Each has its own character:
- Chimgan — Greater Chimgan peak, a chairlift and walks through mountain gorges
- Charvak — a turquoise reservoir among the mountains, swimming and rest in summer
- Amirsoy — a modern mountain resort with a gondola and ski slopes
When to go
- Winter — snow, skiing and snowboarding at Amirsoy and Chimgan
- Spring — green slopes, tulips and full waterfalls
- Summer — cool mountain air and swimming at Charvak
- Autumn — golden slopes and quiet trails
What to bring
It is noticeably cooler in the mountains than in the city, and the weather changes fast. Bring a light jacket, comfortable shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen. In winter — warm clothes and gloves.
