Uzbekistan. Travel along Tovucsay #3 – Azadbash. Hidden beauty.
It was 2-in-1 27 km long hike. We went along the Tovucsay river to the canyon with an awesome waterfall. After that we crossed a pass and came out to the Azadbashsay river. Azadbash gorge is less visited then Tovucsay because is harder to achieve it but views aren’t less magnificent. Less people – more…

In the beginning of spring mountains still covered by snow. Medium hike on the top of Shakh-Kurgan became a challenge for our group. Most of us couldn’t climb because of the danger.
