Uzbekistan Mountain Hiking


Uzbekistan Mountain Hiking

Hiking, hillwalking, walking, walking-tours, tramping, thru-hiking

Many beautiful places in Uzbekistan Mountains can only be reached by hiking, and enthusiasts regard hiking as the best way to see nature. It is seen as better than a tour in a vehicle of any kind (or on an animal) because the hiker’s senses are not intruded upon by distractions such as windows, engine noise, airborne dust and fellow passengers. Hiking over long distances or over difficult terrain does require some degree of physical ability and knowledge.

Outdoor activities in Central Asia 2019

The warm months are coming, so many fans of outdoor activities are interested in the opportunities that are available in the mountains of Uzbekistan.

As for trekking, it is possible, but activity in mountainous regions of Uzbekistan has many limitations because of strict border rules and so on … In fact, only a small area around Chimgan is open to travelers. One-day hiking in the mountains, horseback riding and rafting are still possible. However, white water rafting is possible in Uzbekistan only on one river and until the end of May.

Meanwhile, the border between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan has been simplified. The long-closed border crossing point of Djartepo near to Samarkand  now is open.

This allows the trekkers leaving Samarkand in two hours to be in the heart of Fann Mountains.

The opportunities for trekking that Fann Mountains give, of course, are incomparable to any other region in Central Asia and there are no strict administrative restrictions.

Therefore, in the coming season for outdoor activities we recommend combined tours, for example Tashkent – Bukhara – Samarkand – Fann Mountains – Samarkand – Tashkent.
