Additional Information

‘Haft Kul’ or ‘Seven Lakes’ represent a series of cascading water bodies nestled in the Fan Mountains of Tajikistan’s northwestern region, close to the city of Penjikent. These mountainous lakes, with their striking and continually transforming hues, leave spectators in awe. Each lake carries its unique name: Mizhgon greets majority of the visitors first being the lowest, followed by Soy, Khushor, Nofin, Khurdak, Marguzor (the biggest), and Hazorchashma (the highest).

Embedded within the Fan Mountains, the Seven Lakes are located within the Shing River’s gorge. The unearthing of ancient petroglyphs along the shoreline of one of the lakes suggests their significant age. Mizhgon, the lake at the lowest altitude, is situated at 1,640 meters, while the lake at the highest altitude, Hazorchashma, is positioned at 2,400 meters. The vertical distance spanning the lowest and highest lakes measures 760 meters, while their horizontal distance exceeds 14 km.

Fantastic Trip from Samarkand to the Seven Lakes and Dushanbe - Fantastic day trip from Samarkand to Dushanbe taking in the Seven Lakes, our tour guide was named Bobojon, he had great English and was a fantastic guide full of knowledge of Tajikistan The scenery in the countryside of Tajikistan is fantastic, mountain ranges are spectacular, plenty of stops for photos in the Seven Lakes area, going through all the villages in the area was great to see how people live, such a remote part of the world I was impressed with Bunyod Tour as a company, before travelling to Tajikistan I had an issue with my evisa been rejected by the authorities, this was an evisa I submitted myself, I contacted Bunyod Tour and the management advised me how to submit to evisa properly so the visa would be issued to me, about 3 hours after submitting the new application I was issued with the visa I would recommend Bunyod Tour if I ever return to Tajikistan, I really hope to as it is a fantastic country with hospitable peoplr
