Immerse yourself in the serene landscapes of the Nurata Mountains on this 3-day rural escape. Begin your journey with a scenic drive through the picturesque mountain roads of Jizzakh, stopping at a bustling local bazaar. Explore the region's hidden gems, from ancient irrigation channels to a working water mill in the Ukhum village. Discover the remnants of a Mongol fortress and hike through the national park. Along the way, encounter unique wildlife, such as the endangered Severtsov’s wild sheep, and visit the ruins of Shaxi Korgon, a local fortress offering stunning views of the surrounding valleys. This tour provides an authentic experience of mountain village life, complemented by the warmth of local homestays and traditional meals.
Hiking in the Nuratau Mountains is exceptional for several reasons:
Uzbekistan has a dry continental climate, with very cold winters and extremely hot summers. Sunscreen and a hat are essential during the summer months. As winter approaches (late October to late March), be sure to bring extra warm clothing. For this trip please have comfortable clothing and shoes.
