Uch Uchoq Hills
Uch Uchoq is a group of three isolated hills on the bank of the Amu Darya, one of the routes of the Khorezm National Nature Park. The climb takes half an hour and the tops show the river, the tugai forest and the edge of the Kyzylkum at once. Dense tugai woodland grows at their foot — spring and autumn are the best times to walk.
