CHILDUHTARON is an ancient place, a valley in the South of Tajikistan, big rocky mountain silhouettes in the form of forty girls.

Childukhtaron is translated as the valley of the Forty Girls, which is associated with an interesting legend. According to this legend, 40 stone blocks towering over the valley were once beautiful and charming girls.

When enemies came to the valley and decided to make them their concubines, the inhabitants of the mountains prayed and asked Allah to turn themselves into silent stones.

Among the locals there is also another legend, according to which the rocks grew on this place after a fierce battle with Genghis Khan. Defending their land, 40 young horsewomen blocked the path of Genghis Khan himself. But the forces were unequal and the riders died in battle.

Once in Tajikistan, do not miss the opportunity to visit the Forty Girls Valley, which is especially picturesque and attractive in the spring season.

Lots of driving through beautiful landscapes before arriving at this special place. Enjoyed watching life go by on farms and in villages along the road, and the lake by a damm was very pretty. Stunning views and few visitors made this feel like a very peaceful place. The pickup was punctual, good driver and friendly guide, and while the lunch was fairly dull this was overall a very nice day. Lots of opportunities to take good pictures. The trip took 10h with a stop at the Hulbuk Castle on the way back. Overall, expensive trip but a big delight. If you can afford it don’t hesitate to go there.
