Close to the City

A first challenge should look like this. No summit, no special gear, and you can start on a Saturday afternoon.

The list holds places in Tashkent region below 1500 metres — Charvak, the Ugam-Chatkal national park, the Tavaksay canyon, the Kulosya gorge, the Obirakhmat cave, the Pskem valley, the Urungach lakes and more. Every one of them is a day out, and some are reachable by public transport.

Reach three. This is where it starts — the rest of the challenges will still be there afterwards.
