Description
Baysun Wellness Tour is a 2-day getaway into one of the most gorgeous regions of Uzbekistan. Hop on the overnight train in Tashkent and disembark the next morning in a calming mountain landscape where time has seemingly stood still. Your tour will include cultural and craft workshops in Baysun village, hiking and a picnic near a mountain spring and a visit to Omonkhona Health Resort, renowned for its natural mineral waters.
Baysun and the surrounding Hissar Mountains are noted for their striking natural beauty and temperate weather. Nearby historical enclaves include Derbent Canyon, once a significant caravan passage between the ancient Greek satrapies of Bactria and Sogdiana, and Iron Gate Gorge. Red Canyon and Baysun Forest offer natural diversity, and even Sezam Cave of Ali-Baba and the Forty Thieves is purportedly located nearby!
