Begin your experience with a comfortable hotel pickup and a scenic drive through peaceful countryside filled with traditional villages, orchards, and vineyards. Watch the landscape transform as you leave the city behind and enter the mountains of the Silk Road.

Make your first stop at a famous filming location from the iconic “Apachi” movie. This dramatic and cinematic landscape offers incredible panoramic views and the perfect setting for unforgettable photos.

Continue your journey as you ascend to the spectacular Taxtaqoracha Pass, reaching nearly 2,000 meters above sea level. Enjoy a light snack while taking in breathtaking mountain scenery and fresh alpine air — a moment of peace above the world.

Next, descend into the beautiful Miraki nature area, a lush mountain retreat with a flowing river, green park, and stunning natural surroundings. Walk along scenic paths, relax in nature, and capture incredible photos.

Then, take a scenic cable car ride to the Hidden Eighth Lake. As you rise above the landscape, the view opens to reveal the lake’s magical turquoise waters surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks. This hidden gem offers a perfect combination of untouched natural beauty and comfortable access.

At the lake, relax by the shore, explore the area, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. For an even more memorable experience, take an optional boat ride across the crystal-clear waters.

While most travelers only hear about the Seven Lakes, very few discover the hidden Eighth Lake — making this a truly unique and exclusive experience. After an unforgettable day of discovery, nature, and adventure, return comfortably to your hotel in Samarkand.
