About This Tour

Spend a full week crossing the Nuratau Mountains through Sentob, Majrum, Hayat, Uhum, Asraf and Eski Forish. Six homestay nights provide a continuous village experience, while guided days reveal irrigation channels, petroglyphs, watermills, fortress ruins and wide Lake Aydar views.

The itinerary includes a choice between the 15 km Kadvan Valley hike and the 22 km Fazilman Plateau route, followed by several 11–12 km days. This is a substantial program: route choice, fitness, equipment, weather, season and luggage transport all need confirmation before booking.

  • Kadvan or Fazilman — Choose a 15 km valley hike or a longer 22 km plateau route.

  • Lake Aydar viewpoints — Finish with an Eski Forish loop overlooking the lake and steppe.
