Two days in the world's largest relict walnut forest: the big and small waterfalls and a night at an Uzbek guesthouse.

Legend has it that Arslanbob is where the walnut set off for Europe with the army of Alexander the Great. We walk through a forest where the trees are several hundred years old and climb to the Big Waterfall, 80 metres high. We spend the night at a guesthouse with an Uzbek family: a garden with tapchan platforms, plov from the kazan and fresh bread. On the second day we walk to the Small Waterfall and the sacred sites by the cave, visited by pilgrims from all over the south. The route is easy and suits families with children. The best time is May and September, when the forest is especially beautiful.

    Плов на казане в саду гостевого дома, тапчаны под деревьями, тишина. Мы отдохнули душой. И да, купили три килограмма орехов.

    Лес потрясающий, Большой водопад впечатляет. Дорога до Арсланбоба долгая и местами разбитая.
