Tagestour in Sieben Seen ab Samarkand

I did this Tour in june 2026 … Samarkand had more than 40degr Celsius…. Pick up was early and after quickly passing the border our Tour Guide Elyor and Driver Ali welcomed is in Tajikistan. After a stop over on a bazar, we started to climb the unpaved, adventurous road up to the Seven lakes. The scenery is beatiful, the climate was getting soother… Everything stop was a happening where locals joined and just wanted to welcome the guests . The driving got more and mir „off road“. If you have time and want to escape the heat: This is a really nice, insightful and relaxing tour into Tajikistan!

We had an amazing day trip to the beautiful seven lakes with our absolutely amazing guide, Bobur. During the whole trip, he provided interesting information, but we also had a lot of fun just chatting. We always stopped for photo breaks (Bobur took the best photos of us!) and WE also had enough time to enjoy the lakes and mountains. Thank you again very much, Bobur! It was a great short trip to Tajikistan! We come again and swim in the lakes! ;)

Our day at the 7 lakes was perfect. Our guides and drivers were very punctual, and told us a lot about both countries. The visit to Panjakent market was very good, the food chosen was delicious. We had a very cold weather but the driver did not hesitate to turn on the heat to warm us ahah. The lakes are exceptional especially the 2nd, 6th and 7th. The road is fairytale and we're taking a lot of eyes. Even crossing the border was simple and quick. Overall I would recommend this excursion as unmissable during a visit to Samarkand. This allows you to get out of the city, connect with people, see the beautiful Tajik landscapes, etc.

I had a very good experience with Trip Orient and his owner Elyor. Since first moment I contacted him, he was very professional and gave me all the instructions for the trip. We had a lovely day in Seven Lakes. You must know is a full day. But it’s worth! Totally recomendable!

Amazing experience with Elyor, straight 5 stars. Super convenient and reliable, he speaks perfect English, is super educated about Central Asia and can give you a thousand facts and, most importantly, is a very sympathic, great guy. Not only did we visit the seven lakes, but he took us to a match of kupkari, where he was deeply connected with all the locals and made sure we were having a great time. Again: 5/5 stars, book this tour.

Our day trip from Samarkand to Tajikistan was truly unforgettable and exceeded every expectation. We explored the stunning Seven Lakes (Haft Kul) in the Tajik mountains – each one more breathtaking than the last, with colors ranging from deep blue to jade green. The journey itself was already a joy, with scenic mountain views at every turn. A stop in the vibrant city of Panjakent added a cultural highlight to the day. The town buzzed with life - a perfect complement to the tranquility of the lakes. We were lucky to have three amazing guides: one from Uzbekistan and two from Tajikistan. They worked together seamlessly, were kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. A special shout-out goes to our driver, whose incredible skill allowed us to travel the unpaved mountain roads smoothly and safely – no small feat! Joining us were two lovely fellow travelers from Singapore, and together we shared not only laughs and stories, but also a delicious picnic by the river. The natural beauty of Tajikistan, paired with the warm hospitality of its people, made this day nothing short of magical. This was without a doubt one of the best excursions we've ever done – a perfect mix of nature, culture, and friendship. Rahmat! Tashakkur!
