Duration: 8-9 hours
This countryside excursion will transport you to the heart of an Uzbek kishlak, where you’ll encounter charming homes surrounded by gardens and vineyards. Delight in savory shashlik alongside a mountain stream, complemented by the regions’ exquisite local wine.
A highlight of this journey is a visit to the Institute of Material Science at "Physics-Sun," where you’ll discover the impressive Large Solar Furnace, a prominent and innovative structure. Often referred to as a “solar furnace,” this grand concentrator harnesses sunlight as an energy source, designed to generate ultra-high temperatures for working with refractory and heat-resistant materials essential for advanced scientific research. This extraordinary, avant-garde facility, conceived by Soviet architects, is sure to astound any visitor.
Throughout this adventure, you can trek through the mountains, taking in the stunning vistas of the Tian Shan range, drink refreshing spring water, and inhale the pine-scented air. If your visit occurs in spring, indulge in a unique, vitamin-rich samsa made with the healing herb madar. In the summer and fall, take the opportunity to explore local vineyards and savor the sweet grapes, and in autumn, you may venture into a cotton field.
This journey provides a glimpse not only into the historical richness of Uzbekistan but also its scientific advancements. You’ll experience an authentic kishlak free from mass tourism, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and vibrant greenery, enjoy crisp mountain air, and relish delightful meals.
