Discover the natural splendor just outside Tashkent with our Chimgan and Charvak Tour, a perfect escape into the serene landscapes of Uzbekistan. Only a two-hour drive from the bustling city, this tour takes you to the breathtaking Chimgan Mountains and the tranquil Charvak Reservoir, offering a refreshing contrast to urban life. The Chimgan Mountains, with their majestic peaks and lush valleys, provide a picturesque setting for outdoor adventures. Meanwhile, the Charvak Reservoir, surrounded by rolling green hills, serves as a popular retreat for relaxation and leisure. Whether you’re seeking exhilarating hikes, peaceful picnics, or simply a day in nature, this tour promises an unforgettable experience.
Begin your journey with a morning departure from Tashkent, heading towards the Chimgan Mountains, located approximately 80 kilometers away. The drive itself is a scenic delight, passing through charming villages, verdant gardens, and sparkling streams. Your first stop is the modern Amirsoy Resort*. Here, you’ll board a cable car to ascend to the Kumbel Ridge, standing at 2,300 meters. From this vantage point, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the impressive Big Chimgan peak, reaching 3,300 meters.
Next, you’ll proceed to the Chimgan campsite. For those interested, optional activities include taking a cable car ride to the observation deck of Big Chimgan or exploring the gorge on horseback. Afterward, the tour moves to the Charvak Reservoir, a favorite spot for both locals and tourists. The reservoir’s shores are lined with resorts, beaches, and summer camps, offering ample opportunities for relaxation and recreation.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant along the serpentine road before returning to Tashkent. Please note that due to ongoing repairs at the Amirsoy Resort’s lower station, access to the recreation area may be limited. In such cases, the tour will visit the Chinorkent Resort, where similar activities and stunning views await. After a day of natural beauty and adventure, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel in Tashkent.
