A day trip from Tashkent to the mountains is not just a transfer — it feels like stepping into a completely different world. Here’s how your experience unfolds, step by step:
🌅 Morning Departure – Leaving the City Behind
Your driver picks you up from your hotel in Tashkent early in the morning. As you leave the busy streets behind, the scenery slowly transforms — wide boulevards turn into open landscapes, and within an hour, you begin to see the first outlines of the mountains.
Along the way, your driver can stop at small roadside bakeries and local stands. This is a perfect moment to buy fresh, hot Uzbek samsa (savory pastries baked in clay ovens), traditional round bread (non), and maybe some sweets or dried fruits. These simple, authentic flavors will become part of your mountain picnic later in the day.
🏔️ First Stop – Chimgan Mountains
Arriving in the Chimgan Mountains, you’ll immediately feel the fresh, crisp air. The mountains are peaceful, wide, and inviting — ideal for light walking, taking photos, or simply enjoying the silence of nature.
You can take a short hike, sit in a teahouse, or just admire the panoramic views. In every direction, there are green slopes in spring, golden tones in autumn, and snow-covered peaks in winter.
🚠 Amirsoy Mountain Resort – Modern Comfort in Nature
Next, you continue to the modern Amirsoy Mountain Resort, one of the most developed resorts in Uzbekistan.
Here you can take a cable car (lift) up into the mountains. The ride itself is a highlight — slowly rising above the valleys with breathtaking views all around. At the top, you’ll find cafés, viewing platforms, and plenty of space to relax and take photos.
👉 Entrance & activities:
Cable car tickets are purchased on site (not included in transport service).
Prices may vary by season, but your driver will guide you on where and how to buy tickets.
🧺 Picnic with a View
Now comes one of the most memorable parts of the day — your picnic.
Using the samsa, bread, and snacks you bought earlier, you can stop at a scenic point in the mountains or near the water. Sitting outdoors, surrounded by nature, enjoying simple Uzbek food — this is an authentic and relaxing experience, far from restaurants and crowds.
🌊 Charvak Reservoir – The Blue Pearl
In the afternoon, you head towards the stunning Charvak Reservoir.
The turquoise water surrounded by mountains creates a dramatic and peaceful landscape. Depending on the season, you can:
Walk along the shore
Take photos from panoramic viewpoints
Relax at one of the lakeside areas
There is no strict entrance ticket for the reservoir itself, but some beach or recreation areas may charge a small local fee if you choose to enter.
☕ Optional Stops – Local Cafés & Views
On the way back, your driver can stop at roadside cafés for tea or coffee. Sitting on a terrace with mountain views, sipping green tea, is the perfect way to end the day.
🌇 Return to Tashkent
By evening, you return to Tashkent, tired but refreshed — with a camera full of photos and a mind full of peaceful mountain memories.
