Uzbekistan. From Kumishkan village to Gidjal village.
It was interesting hike about 25 km long. It began near Kumishkan village. We went to the confluence of Nurekata and Aksagata rivers and admired of surrounding views. Spring still began.

Uzbekistan. Over Shakh-Kurgan (2020m) to the Sukok forest.
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. Snow was very slippery and not all tourists have appropriate boots, not to mention about sticks. Some of us could climb and they…

Uzbekistan. Travel along Tovucsay #2.
I was here one year ago in May. There was a lot of tulips but now I met only couple. Spring is only beginning. There is a lot of water in the river, and it mixed with the mud – pure milk and coffee. We also climbed the nearest hill. It is a good place…

Uzbekistan. Babaytag peak (3555 m)
Babaytag is a real challenge. Screes, boulders, rocks, steep climbs, hot – all this stuff from dawn to the dusk. There is no water on the way at all – no river, stream or spring. Met nice horses 😉 Overhead of impressions for one-day tour. We went along Shakhtar peak (3190 m). Panorama of Yangiabad…

Uzbekistan. Kapirtash mountain (2508 m) #1
Hot, dust and long way to the peak – it was challenging. Sun burned the grass even in the middle of the summer and mountains have their special ochre color. On the way you can see upper gorges of Kulosya – they are impassable. From the pass before the peak you can see valley of…
