Tour is available from mid-April until mid-October.
Walking distance: ~18 km
The two-day mountain tour Beldersay Ring-2 is an excellent way to enjoy the beauty of the Uzbekistan mountains, and at the same time to stay in comfortable hotel facilities, rather than in a pup tent. The Beldersay river natural boundary famous for its pistes is located 75 km from Tashkent, and the way there takes less than 2 hours. However, this mountainous region is popular not only in winter but also in summer, when it is possible to hike through passes, arrange picnics in the spacious meadows and admire the landscapes, with a gorgeous outline of Big Chimgan occupying the central part of it. On the Beldersay right bank, there rises a mountain, cut by a plate of hard granite rock. It is possible to see naked layers from the hostel, and hike them from the other side of the mountain. In the course of this tour you will have ascents and descents, waterfalls and waftage through small mountain rivers, and winding paths, stretching in small groves. In spite of the fact that the total length of the route is 7-8 km, the hike takes almost a whole day, however you will remember the impressions on it for long.
