Zaamin, located on the northern slopes of Uzbekistan’s Turkistan Range, lies 240 km southeast of Tashkent and offers a stunning eco-tourism experience. At its heart is the expansive Zaamin National Park, a 31,500-hectare sanctuary preserving ancient juniper forests and diverse mountain ecosystems. Visitors can trek over 150 km of trails passing through apricot orchards, alpine meadows, and striking river canyons. The area is also home to fascinating wildlife such as the Turkestan lynx, Asiatic black bears, and bearded vultures.
Steeped in history, Zaamin was once part of the ancient Ustrushana region and boasts over 2,500 years of archaeological treasures, including dinosaur footprints and historic settlements. Notable landmarks like a 700-year-old walnut tree and the beautiful Sharilak Waterfall add to its charm.
Outdoor activities abound, whether you enjoy hiking, horseback riding, or winter skiing on gentle slopes. For food enthusiasts, local teahouses serve traditional dishes like Tandir Kebabs and salted cheese balls. Comfortable guesthouses offer a warm, authentic stay for travelers.
