Trip from Shakhrisabz to Gilan – the most exotic kishlak (village) in Uzbekistan (AUz-3)
Gilanis the most exotic kishlak (village) in Uzbekistan, located high in the Gissar mountains in the border with Tajikistan, thus, for a long time this area was forbidden for visiting by tourists. Local people have been growing the most delicious potatoes in Uzbekistan here on steep mountain slopes for 800 years, keeping the ancient traditions and the way of life. In addition, the landscapes of Gilan are beautiful.
By request of the tourists, it is possible to arrange a stay in a traditional house of local people and light hiking in the mountains.
