Begin your adventure with a scenic drive from Tashkent to Paltau, passing through the picturesque Charvak Reservoir, surrounded by the peaks of the Western Tien Shan.

Start your hike to the Obi-Rakhmat Cave, with beautiful views of the Chatkal River and Okhotnichy Mountain. Explore the ancient Neanderthal site and cave chambers, an archaeological site dating back over 50,000 years. It was once a Neanderthal settlement where ancient tools, animal bones, and even human remains were discovered.

Continue your trek along the Paltau River to the 38-meter waterfall, hidden deep in the gorge. The trail to the falls includes a few natural obstacles — a fun challenge for adventurers. Your reward is a stunning view of the waterfall cascading between rocks, offering refreshing coolness on a warm day. The bravest hikers can even take a dip beneath the falls — an unforgettable experience.

Enjoy a relaxing break and picnic near the waterfall, with time for photos and swimming (optional). Then, return hike back to the starting point and transfer to Tashkent.
