The Chimgan Mountains and Charvak Reservoir are popular spots outside of Tashkent, both for locals and visitors. Just two hours is enough to leave the city and head out into the wilderness. Breathe clean mountain air, sunbathe, hike, or have a picnic while surrounded by picturesque mountains. Discover the best sights around Tashkent with this tour to the Chimgan Mountains and the Charvak Reservoir, some of our favorite vacation spots outside the city.
Tour itinerary:
In the morning, depart to Chimgan Mountains (80 km, ~2 h.). You will be driving the road lying in picturesque surroundings full of local villages, gardens, and streams. Visit a brand new Amirsoy resort*. Ride the cable car to the Kumbel Ridge (2,300 m) where you can clearly see the surrounding mountains and the peak known as 'Big Chimgan' (3,300 m). Then transfer to the Chimgan camp site, where, if you wish, you can take a cable car to the observation deck of the Big Chimgan or ride horses along the gorge at the foot of the mountain. Continue to the shore of Charvak reservoir, surrounded by green mountain flanks. With numerous resorts, beaches, and children summer camps, Charvak Lake is a favorite place of locals and foreigners to enjoy summer days outside the city. Drive down serpentine road to have lunch at a local restaurant. Return to Tashkent after lunch. Drop off at the hotel.
*Due to ongoing repair work at the lower station of the Amirsoy resort complex, the ascent to the Amirsoy recreation area (about 5 km) is limited to car access and dependent on favorable weather conditions. The driver reserves the right to cancel the ascent to the complex if the weather conditions are not favorable. In such cases, a visit to the Amirsoy resort will be replaced with a visit to the Chinorkent resort, where visitors can also enjoy a cable car ride.

Chimgan & Charvak Tour Reviews
Our driver was Aziz and we really could not have asked for a better person to take us on the tour.
Incredibly polite, warm and friendly, he was the definition of hospitality. He spoke great English which was such a pleasant surprise as it made it easy and entertaining to converse with him. To top it off, he provided us with much information about Uzbekistan and the sights we were visiting.
We were skeptical about whether this trip was going to be worthwhile but are very happy we booked with Advantour. It was very memorable. Thank you!

Marifat guided us to Chimgan and Charvat, with a lot of great atmosphere and humor.
Her endless knowledge, kindness and winning personality and of course her excellent English, made this day so very special, full of joy and excitements. Together with our driver Sarvar, they were the perfect team.
