Superb tower with 7 lakes. We left early, practically no waiting at the border and hardly anyone on the spots. The driver was careful, and regaled us with many breaks! Thank you.
7 Lakes, 700 turns and 70,000 potholes

Overall it was a great experience, from hotel pickup to the return it was extremely well organized. The company coordinator Fayoziddin was really thorough. Highly recommend. We left our hotel at 6 on the instructions of our previous day’s guide to avoid border crossing delays on the Tajik side. We had none and the tour was still 12 hours, door to door. Judging by returning vehicles we saw driving up, we were one of the first to get to the lakes so it was uncrowded and the sun was in a good position to make the colour of the lakes really stand out. Arriving later and the sun may be too low and blocked by the mountains which is what I saw on the return at 2 or 3 of the lakes. Observations - lakes are not as big as I expected, rather small actually. Even though I was told the water levels are higher as summer approaches due to melting from glaciers they are not big. Someone could easily walk around the biggest in 60 min if there was a path to do so. Scenery is quite stunning as you drive up the mountain. Absolutely nothing to buy in Panjakent market. No souvenirs!!! We had the most amazing samosas at a hole in wall shop on the left, a few meters before you get to the market when coming from the border. 4 for about US$1.50. Pastry as flakey as anything I have ever had. Best not to do the museums or statues until after the lakes in case your time is short as they aren’t much to see. In truth, we did not stop to see them after we ate. Bring some chocolates or treats for some little kids because the 5th? lake is very close to a village. They are cute because they aren’t pushy. Be prepared for a heck of a ride on bumpy and very narrow one lane road, at least 45 minutes and a bit scary when trying to get by oncoming vehicles. If you get carsick, bring Gravol!!! Only negatives - lakes are small; our guide, Sole on the Tajik side was knowledgeable and friendly but maybe could have been more assertive as far as organization eg. how long each stop was to be.

This is a great trip overall. We're surprised by the differences between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The border crossing was very smooth because we arrived there very early, well done by our guide. The lakes are beautiful and the bumpy road also has its highlights but the most interesting thing of the tour is to get to see the local culture, stop for lunch at a village and see get to see the city of Panjakent with the mountains in the back. Very recommended.

Overall, this was a fantastic and memorable experience, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. 4 stars only because of the border crossing issue and the $100 bribe we had to pay. Our guide picked us up promptly from the hotel, and during the two-hour drive to the Uzbek–Tajik border, shared fascinating insights into Uzbekistan’s history, which made the journey both informative and enjoyable. At the border, we crossed independently, passing through Uzbek exit control before proceeding to Tajik entry. One important note for future travelers: UK citizens do need a visa for Tajikistan, while EU and US citizens do not. Unfortunately, I did not have one (— my fault, as I should have researched this before the trip, but I had assumed I didn’t need one since Uzbekistan is visa-free for UK citizens —) and was initially told I could not cross. After some stressful discussion with the border officials and our guide, we were eventually allowed through after being asked to pay a $100 bribe, and my passport was held until our return, which made me anxious. Thankfully, the same officer was there when we came back later in the day, and the return crossing went smoothly. Once across, the drive into the Shing Valley and Haft-Kul (Seven Lakes) was absolutely spectacular and well worth the off-roading. Our Tajik driver was highly skilled, expertly navigating the mountain roads in a 4WD Toyota. I would definitely recommend bringing water, snacks, some Tajik cash for the Panjakent bazaar, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer, as facilities are very basic and there are limited opportunities to buy anything in the mountains. A wonderful day trip overall and highly recommended for anyone visiting Samarkand.

We booked this tour and added the English-speaking guide for $40 USD extra. We were very glad we did! He helped us with the border crossing, money exchange, found a lovely shashlik place for lunch, helped us find Western-style toilets, etc. The road is very bumpy and windy past the gate toward the seven lakes. Make sure you take motion-sickness meds if you need it! Even so, we stopped after lake number 4 because my headache got too strong.
