Why Climb in Uzbekistan?

Uzbekistan’s mountain systems — part of the majestic Tian‑Shan and Alay ranges — feature dramatic peaks, glaciers and deep valleys. Key ranges include:

• Western Tian‑Shan: Ugam, Pskem, Chatkal and Kuramin ranges.
• Gissar‑Alay system: Turkestan, Zerafshan and Gissar ranges.
• Notable peaks: Greater Chimgan ($3309\text{m}$), Khazret Sultan ($4643\text{m}$).

The region’s orography is shaped by powerful tectonic forces, creating a landscape of rugged ridges and vast intermountain depressions.
