Chimgan-Beldersay
|
Mountainous
region of Chimgan is located
about 100 km far from Tashkent.
This beautiful place is worth
seeing for those who likes to
feel the harmony with nature, to
gateway from daily routine live
and have some time to think
about one's own place in life
given by god for such a short
time. This could be one of the
reasons why people like Chimgan
and Beldersay so much. These are
two places which offers
something anytime of the year.
The bubbling mountain streams,
the lull of the warbling birds
and the dark-green slopes of the
majestic mountains fascinate
people in |
the summer and
offers slopes covered with snow
during the winger. The air is so
clean and fresh that it simply makes
you dizzy. If you are a poor skier
and have children, then, probably,
it is better to go to Chimgan. There
are many people and even more snow
here. Gentle slopes give a wonderful
opportunity to learn skiing. There
is also a private rent of skis,
snowboards, sledges, etc. here. The
coaches will spend time with you
till your utter exhaustion. Do not
rush when choosing a coach - the way
you will ski tomorrow directly
depends on his professionalism.
Approach the specialists of the
cable-seat way or hoop - they will
recommend. By the way, the cable-way
and rope-tow invite those who
already stand well on skis and feel
confident. The length of the chair
lift is 800 m and the shorter hoop -
650m. A good skier makes 30 trips a
day.
| Chimgan is
the ideal place for a winter
parties, this is why one can
find everything for relaxation -
three decent cafes, discos flash
out simultaneously in three
places. As demand for quality
accommodation grows it provides
a healthy room for supply of
good hotels. You can find now
new private hotels offering
quality rooms and meals on their
premises. One of them “Snejniy
Bars” and another "Sky Village".
If Chimgan is matchless in the
nomination "The best for
amateurs", then Beldersay is a
leader in the nomination "The
best for professionals". It has
the best luxury type hotel in
mountains of Uzbekistan,
|
|
the longest
cable-chair way in Asia (extension -
3.5km), and has a lot of fresh air
and plenty of snow. People return
here again and again, as if pulled
by a magnet. The cable-chair way
works everyday. Very often, having
sat on the lower station in fog, we
get off to the blinding sunlight in
the upper station. The clouds remain
below us. The emotions that fill
each person who climbed here can be
compared to the delight of a first
airplane flight. The skiers and
snowboarders ride on the Kumbel
Mountain , which is surrounded by
mountains from every quarter. Of
late the Kumbel peak has become a
paradise for the paraplane lovers.
These people are unusual, romantic
and impulsive, real "sky bikers". If
you are lucky, you will see the blue
sky coloured in bright canopies. The
flights on Kumbel will become more
intense by summer when there will be
good upstream of air. However,
practice and training flights do
take place in winter here. Also, you
can have possibility to make Heliski
on this region. In Uzbekistan the
season starts mid January and
usually the last runs are towards
the end of March or beginning of
April. Skiers are set down at an
altitude of 3000 to 4300 m; the
amplitude of descents is as wide as
2km with the length of a run up to
10 kms. Helicopters of the type MI-8
MTB takes aboard up to 15 passengers
with their equipment. Two
instructors accompany the group.
Touch down points in an area
comprising Chimgan, Bildersoy, and
the Pskem and Chatkal ridges are no
further than 100-200 km from
Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan
