The mountain region of Chimgan–Charvak–Beldersay, including the modern Amirsoy Mountain Resort, lies just about 90 minutes from Tashkent and offers a completely different side of Uzbekistan that surprises many first-time visitors. Set within the foothills of the Western Tian Shan Mountains and the protected landscapes of Ugam–Chatkal National Park, this area has long been valued for its clean air, alpine scenery, forests, rivers, and panoramic mountain views. While Uzbekistan is famous worldwide for its Silk Road cities, this region shows why the country is also becoming known as a paradise for hikers, nature lovers, photographers, and adventure travelers.
Travelers usually come here after exploring historic cities such as Samarkand and Bukhara, adding a refreshing nature escape to their journey. In summer and autumn, the mountains around Chimgan and Beldersay are ideal for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, village walks, and scenic picnics. Guests enjoy visiting nearby mountain villages, meeting local families, stopping at horse farms, and tasting fresh products straight from the source—homemade mountain honey, cheeses, herbs, seasonal fruits, and locally produced wines. The landscapes change throughout the year, from green alpine meadows and wildflowers in spring to golden slopes and dramatic sunsets in autumn, making it a favorite destination for photography and slow outdoor exploration.
In winter, Amirsoy and Beldersay transform into one of Central Asia’s leading ski and snowboarding destinations, with modern lifts, ski-in/ski-out facilities, and beautiful mountain views in every direction. Amirsoy’s restaurants and terraces offer a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying local and international cuisine, while spas and hammams provide comfort after a day outdoors. Throughout the year, travelers can combine soft adventure with cultural experiences—ATV rides, village visits, cooking and tasting sessions, school and community visits, and evenings spent sharing food and stories with local hosts. For Silk Road Treasure Tours, this mountain region is a perfect complement to Uzbekistan’s ancient cities, offering fresh air, open landscapes, genuine hospitality, and unforgettable outdoor experiences—all just a short drive from the capital.
