Description

Nestled among the snowy heights of Ugam-Chatkal National Park, Uzbekistan’s largest nature reserve, is the wildly popular Chimgan Resort. Named after the main peak of the Chatkal Range and the largest town in the region, Chimgan’s otherworldly landscapes, fresh mountain air and much-acclaimed Charvak Lake are a convenient 2-hour drive from Tashkent.
The Chimgan and Charvak Day Tour is a refreshing detour from city life, an excursion to an area so exquisite that it attracts visitors from far and wide to its numerous resorts, beaches and summer camps. Spend the day among gently sloping peaks, mountain villages and the pristine waters of Charvak Lake, and you’ll quickly understand why this spot is a local favorite.

Thank you for arranging our trip to Chimgan and Avenue Park hotel. We really enjoyed it, as we did the whole of our holiday in Uzbekistan. Thanks for all your help.

The tours were very interesting, and all the guides were on time and good as was the driver. The food in the hotels was fine and I have no complaints with any hotel.
Tashkent was a little hotter than I thought it would be and I think summer was coming early. The wind in Termez was incredible one night. Only one issue I had was with the AC in hotel Uzbekistan.
The weather over all was great and it did not rain one day. The subway stations in Tashkent were very interesting and not crowded. For a USA person the taxis were cheap and the subway cheap.
Bukhara was probably my favorite city. The last trip I took to Chimgan turned out to be better than I expected and a change from all the mosques and mausoleums of Samarkand and Khiva. It was a great trip and I would recommend your company to anyone.
Thanks Jim

We would like to say thank you that our travel in Uzbekistan was a fantastic journey. There were some thinks that I would like to comment:
Hotel Boutique Amelia in Bukhara is excellent hotel for location, staff, comfort, breakfast...
Homestay in Chimgan at Rosa Miralieva house was fantastic Rosa is an excellent cooker and all the family are very nice, and we stay there like in our house.
The visit to Aral Sea takes 10 hours from Nukus to Aral Sea and the 9 hours from Aral Sea to Moynak then Moynak to Nukus and then to Khiva, that makes a very long journey. In spite we enjoy, the night in the beach was very nice, Maybe is not necessarily go as far as we went. I think it's possible to stop at the beginning of the waters of the Aral Sea.
P.S. If we return to Central Asia, we no doubt to contact another time with OrexCA.com

I came to Uzbekistan in May 2006, as an independent tourist. Having studied the history of Central Asia and the Uzbek language in college at the University of Chicago, I was confident that I would be able to find my way around Uzbekistan on my own. After successfully navigating my way from Tashkent through Samarkand, Bukhara, Khorezm, and Karakalpakistan, I found myself back in Tashkent with too much time on my hands. Eager to escape the busy pace and dirty skies of the big city, I arranged a trip to the mountain village of Khumsan through OrexCA.com. I must say, from the majesty and grandeur of the Registan to the excitement of entering Tajikistan quasi-legally to visit the Sogdian ruins of Pendjikent, nothing compared with the hospitality the people of Khumsan showered on me.
When I arrived in Khumsan, I was warmly welcomed into the Akramov's house and a delicious, warm meal was immediately served with fresh, still-warm-the-goat milk and locally-produced wine. Best of all was washing my food down with crystal clear water from the family's stream. Later that night I visited another family in Khumsan and was treated to a delectable stir-fry of mushrooms and potatoes served with home-made ketchup and more wine. My hosts were so gracious that even after delivering an abbreviated toast in my broken, heavily accented Uzbek, they heaped praise on my "sweet poetry". I remember ending my night by chewing on wild, mountain rhubarb and gazing at a sky abundant with stars I had long forgotten.
My final day in Khumsan, I took a horse-back trip through a gorge in the mountains. I remember at the beginning of the journey, still at the bottom of the gorge, looking up into the heights and seeing little houses, perched among the cliffs. The great joy of the trip was visiting these homes. At every single one, a family waited with tea and food, ready to serve us. What a joy it is to sit with friends, drinking mint-flavored tea and listening to the gentle trickle of waterfalls!
I plan to visit Uzbekistan again, and when I do, I will coordinate my whole trip through OrexCA.com and I will insist on visiting all of the villages where they have contacts. I didn't have any trouble independently planning a fulfilling trip to Uzbekistan, but after my visit to Khumsan, I am convinced that I missed many of Uzbekistan's true gems. Next time I will trust the experts of OrexCA.com to help guide me to the biggest adventures and friendliest families of Uzbekistan.

He realizado mi segunda visita a Uzbekistan despues de 5 anos de haber Ido por primera vez, y he decidido tomar los servicios de OrexCA.com para las regiones de Fergana y el turismo rural. Ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora el concocer la vida de Uzbekistan mas de cerac, en casas de familias Uzbekas y Tajikas, sus tradiciones, sus comidas, cultura, etc.
Probar la hospitalidad del Asia central, conocer la vida cotidiana, que ha complementado enormemente la visita a este pais, encontrando muy interesante, fuera de las rutas turisticas de monumentos y ciudades, los pueblos y vida rural de esta nacion. Recomiendo ampliamente a los Visitants y turistas que vengan a Uzbekistan, de pasear por el valle de Fergana y Los pequenos pueblos cerca de Tashkent, ya que veran y sentiran el pais mas de cerca, y comprenderan mas facilmente su cultura. Creo que es una gran iniciativa de la compania OrexCA.com, la de desarrollar este turismo alternative y diferente. Realmente he disfrutado al maximo los dias que estuve en Khumsan y Birchimulla, asi como los pasados en Marguilan hospedado en las casas de familia. Sin ninguna duda cuando regrese a Uzbekistan para una 3ra visita, volvere a estos sitios.
