A one-day Seven Lakes Tour from Samarkand offers a striking contrast to typical travel around Uzbekistan. Instead of visiting historical and cultural landmarks, you’ll cross into neighboring Tajikistan and trade grand monuments for peaceful, colorful mountain lakes. Located just 110 km from Samarkand, the lakes can be reached in about two hours.
Each lake is a gem of the Fann Mountains, distinguished by its unique color, shape, and setting within the mountain gorge. Depending on the season and the angle of the sun, the water changes from light blue to deep purple. The lakes all have unusual names, and Tajik families living between them or along their shores often share fascinating local legends.
If you have a free day in Samarkand, take a one-day Seven Lakes Tour from Samarkand – these few hours will leave you with vivid memories of Tajikistan’s stunning mountain scenery.
