Fann Mountains Trek & Chimtarga Peak (11 Days)
High-Altitude Trekking Expedition from Samarkand
Overview
This demanding 11-day trekking expedition takes you deep into the heart of the Fann Mountains, one of the most spectacular alpine regions in Central Asia.
Designed for experienced trekkers, the route combines high passes, glacier travel, and a summit attempt of Chimtarga Peak (5,489 m) — the highest point of the Fann Mountains.
Starting from Samarkand, this journey perfectly blends Silk Road culture with a true high-altitude wilderness experience.
