About this experience
We are going to see seven lakes! Although we will only see six of them due to the inaccessibility of the last one. The waters of each lake enchant with shades ranging from turquoise and ultramarine to dark purple. The color changes depending on the location of the lakes. Along the way, we will tell you about the way of life of our neighbors and the differences between the two peoples - Tajiks and Uzbeks.
