About this activity
Sun, science and mountain air. This private day trip takes you into the Parkent district of Tashkent Province, where solar science and the green foothills of the Chimgan Mountains sit side by side. We pick you up from your Tashkent hotel at 10:00, and your guide and driver look after only your group all day.
The Physics-Sun Heliocomplex. The first stop is the Physics-Sun Heliocomplex and its solar furnace, a research centre devoted to solar energy technology. Your guide explains how the site works and how Uzbekistan is exploring renewable energy, with time to walk around and take photos.
Village life in Kumushkon. Next we visit Kumushkon, an eco-tourism village set against the mountains, and its local mosque. It is a short, gentle stop that shows how people live in the Parkent foothills, and a good moment for photos and questions.
Forest and waterfall at Sukok. The longest stop of the day is Sukok, a recreational area of pine, oak and juniper forest in the Chimgan Mountains. You have about an hour and a half for walking in the cool shade and visiting the small waterfall, before the drive back to Tashkent.
Good to know. The price includes hotel pickup and drop-off, transport, a professional guide and all taxes; entrance tickets and meals are not included. Families are welcome. Expect a fair amount of walking, so bring comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen and water in a reusable bottle; plastic bottles and smoking are not allowed. Not suitable for wheelchair users.

There is a fair amount of walking, especially at Sukok, where you spend about an hour and a half in the forest and at the waterfall. Families with children are welcome, but the tour is not suitable for people with mobility impairments or wheelchair users. Comfortable shoes and a hat make it easier.

Bring comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, a camera and water in a reusable bottle, because plastic bottles are not allowed on this tour. Weather in the mountains can change during the day, so a light extra layer is useful. Smoking is not allowed, and tips for your guide and driver are optional.
