Chimgan Mountains, Tashkent, Uzbekistan

 

Chimgan Mountains is home to popular ski areas like the traditional Chimgan ski slopes, Beldersay and the popular Amirsoy Mountain Resort.  It also offers scenic open air chair-lifts and modern gondolas that carry visitors up the slopes for panoramic views.


What we did in Chimgan is horse backriding that costs us 200,000 Uzbek Soms per pax.  The mountain offers scenic alpine valley trails.  It is located around 80 kilometers from Tashkent and are available at all skill levels.  The trip was part of our Get Your Guide tour to Amirsoy, Chimgan and Charvak Lake at Php7,491 or 1.5 million Soms for 3 pax.

If you will not get the tour via GetYour Guide app, book a direct ride using a ride-hailing app "Yandex Go" for a fixed price.  The 80-85 kilometer ride takes about 1.5 to 2 hours north into the mountains and it will costs you around US$ 9-15.  By comparing hailing a taxi and booking at GetYourGuide, it is much cheaper to DIY.

We went on a tour that started in Tashkent, included a day trip to Khujand in Tajikistan and another to Chim gan, and spent the remaining days in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
