About this trek
Begin with a road transfer from Samarkand to Eski Forish, then continue on foot through Asraf and Ukhum to Hayat. This four-day Nuratau route combines open mountain trails, semi-desert panoramas, village hospitality, traditional household life, ancient rock art and views toward Lake Aydar.
Three planned village nights keep the journey connected to the landscapes and daily rhythms of rural Uzbekistan. In the Hayat area, your guide can help you look for the rare Severtsov’s argali, although wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed.
