Explore Amirsoy, Chimgan & Charvak – A Full-Day Mountain Tour
Description
This is one of the most popular mountain day trips from Tashkent, combining three destinations in one unforgettable day: Amirsoy, Chimgan, and Charvak Lake. Ride a modern cable car up to Amirsoy's 2,099m summit for sweeping views of the Western Tian Shan range, then continue to the historic Chimgan area — a favorite mountain escape since Soviet times, with optional horse riding and ATV rides available on-site. The day ends at turquoise Charvak Lake, where you can relax lakeside, swim, or add on a boat ride or jet ski. Chimgan is a year-round destination: green meadows in spring and summer, colorful foliage in autumn, and snow-covered peaks in winter — with Amirsoy transforming into a full ski resort during the cold months. This tour is ideal for travelers who want to experience Uzbekistan beyond its Silk Road cities: mountain air, panoramic views, and a full day away from the city.

I am writing this review to the tour owner as much as the tourist thinking about this trip. This is a good day, but not a great day, but could be changed. There are many added fees throughout the day, so many times we are digging into our pockets for money to pay for something that should be added into the tour cost. The tour should be more expensive covering these costs so all day we are not trying to find change to pay for the gondola ride, lunch, parking at the lake, the boat ride to swim. Hiking on top of the mountain is maybe the best part of the day. However, when you arrive at the beautiful lake in nature there were several speed boats all wanting us to rent a ride from them, and all had their stupid disco music blasting so loud it ruined the natural feeling. The boat ride is only 30 minutes and they allow you to jump in the lake for a maximum of 10 minutes for a swim, then they need to return. Very rushed, and the lakefront where this tour takes you is NOT a nice beach. You should find a better beach. This tour is probably one of the best options for getting into the mountains, but it could be so much better with some planning.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the mountain scenery and especially the hiking experience, which is indeed one of the highlights of this tour. We also appreciate your honest comments regarding the optional expenses during the day. We understand your point that having more costs included upfront could create a smoother experience, and we will certainly consider this when reviewing our tour options in the future. Regarding the lake area and boat ride, unfortunately the boat operators and lakeside facilities are managed by independent local providers, and we have limited control over their operations, music, and timing. However, your feedback is valuable, and we will explore alternative locations and experiences that may provide a more relaxing atmosphere for future guests. Thank you again for your constructive suggestions. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our tours and provide better experiences for future travelers. We hope to welcome you back to Uzbekistan again someday.
We had a great day tour with Sardor exploring the mountains and lake outside Tashkent. Communication via WhatsApp was seamless, pickup was punctual, and he tailored the flexible itinerary to our preferences. Escaping the heat for cool mountain air, a lake boat tour, and a refreshing swim was ideal. Sardor’s English is excellent, and his local knowledge gave us insightful context about Uzbekistan. Highly recommended!
we spent good time with Sardor in the mountains. Everything was worth to spent money
A long beautiful day with a well educated, talkative guide. Organisation was perfect. Beautiful sightsees.
Amazing, I strongly recommend Asilbek as your guide!
