What you can expect

  • You will have chance to explore the village and mountains with overnight in Ohalik village at very traditional uzbek house. The name of the village comes from word “Ohak” means lime stone which is located in a mountainous area. During the time of Amir Temur, in this area there was a road from Shakhrisabz city to Samarkand city through the Ohalik mountains. According to the legend there is a cave of Amir Temur in the Ohalik mountains.
    Programme of Hiking would be as following:
    You will be picked up from your hotel/railway station/airport in the afternoon and transfer to Ohalik village (30 km) from Samarkand to Mr. Talat's local house. House is very basic with basic traditional toilet and bathroom. It has very nice courtyard and small river just outside of the house. In the evening you can explore the village by walking. Village has two nice restaurants:

    • Ohalik Krilishki: Very famous and delicious checken wings. People from whole Uzbekistan come to this restaurant to have chicken wings.
      Overnight at Local house.
      Next day after early breakfast a car will drop you off 4.5 km closeby the mountain from where long hiking trip starts. You can directly start hiking from local house instead of driving. The total hiking distance is 22 km and level is average and average-difficult. Last destination is waterfall - Dev Sharshara that means Giant Water fall. The height of the mountains are from 400 m to 2,178 m. But during hiking level would be between 600 m-1,500 m above the sea level.
      During the tour you will pass mountains and walk along the river to reach Dev Sharshara. On the way you will come to know about the local flora and fauna , animals and insects living in mountain.
