Excellent place to visit. Be prepared for rough road ride. Bring food and water from ubz. Cafe prices in Tajik by the minute. Sellers rip people off

From Samarkand I made a day trip to the 7 lakes (Haft Kul) and it was without doubt another highlight of my trip. The border crossing was completely smooth and stress-free. We exchanged some money and had the opportunity to have a small breakfast and buy snacks. At the end there was a shared meal, which was included. Our driver took us safely and with a lot of joy on the piggyback slope to all lakes, humorously it was free massage in Tajikistan. Each of the seven lakes has a different color and the lakes are super clear, the water ice cold. At the lakes there was sufficient time to enjoy the scenery. Guide or driver liked to take photos of us at the best spots. A really nice excursion and I recommend to reserve a day in the tourist program.

We had such an amazing experience and the view! It was just me and another woman, but we really enjoyed having a picnic with our guide and driver in a quiet place with snowy scenery along the way. Before we went to Seven Lakes, we had a bit of sightseeing in the bazaar and other places, and it was good to know the city of Tajikistan. Of course, Seven Lakes was amazing. I want to go again in August.

We had an amazing time with Murod. He was very informative about Tajikistan and Uzbekistan history. The seven lakes were beautiful with the snow and he even stopped by Sarazm Archaeological Site on the way home for us. We had a great time and would 100% recommend doing this day trip if you’re staying in Samarkand.

Guide and drivers were excellent. Was a good short look at Tajikistan if you’re in Samarkand and have a spare day. Well worth it
