Itinerary
Start your early morning journey from Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and cross the Uzbekistan–Tajikistan border with full assistance from your local guide. Travel through picturesque valleys and winding mountain roads as you head toward the legendary Iskanderkul Lake, set in the heart of the Fann Mountains.
Upon arrival, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and turquoise waters of one of Tajikistan's most famous natural landmarks, named after Alexander the Great. Take a short hike to the “Snake Lake” waterfall (Fan Niagara) and listen to fascinating local legends while surrounded by stunning alpine views.
You'll have free time to relax, take photos, and enjoy either a packed picnic or a lakeside café lunch (depending on season and availability). Throughout the tour, your professional guide will share stories of the region's history, culture, and natural wonders.
In the afternoon, begin your return journey and arrive back in Samarkand by evening — with unforgettable memories of a day spent in one of Central Asia's hidden gems.
