The Chimgan Mountains are a popular destination for day trips from Tashkent. Located not far from the capital, they represent the westernmost extension of the Tian Shan Mountains. Visitors to the Chimgan Mountains can enjoy a wide range of activities, including hiking, skiing, climbing, and paragliding.
In 2019, we filmed part of the series "Along the Silk Road into the Celestial Mountains" here with the MDR Biwak team, during which we climbed the Bolshoi Chimgan, the Great Chimgan (3,309 m).
