Pik Okhotnichiy is 3,099 m, in the Chimgan mountain knot. Lower than Bolshoy Chimgan (3,309 m), but the card does not sell it as an easier Chimgan: the finish goes through rock and snowfields, for people “ready to overcome difficulties”.
It is the only one of the four that singles out spring: snowfields and flowering valleys.
Summary
The essentials in a minute
In detail
Against its neighbours
Same price as Babaitag — 700,000 UZS, one day, start in Tashkent. Character is closer to an ascent than to an unhurried walk: snowfields on the finish.
Higher and longer: Karakush 3,864 m. Famous height in one day: Bolshoy Chimgan. Comparison.
The day on the programme
Start: leave Tashkent, arrive at the foot, briefing, climb through green slopes.
Summit 3,099 m: rock and snowfields, view of Bolshoy Chimgan, gorges and space, descent, return to Tashkent. No overnight on the card — 1 day. (An older leisure article mentioned overnighting differently; here we follow the tour page.)
Spring — the only season named
There is no “June–September” on this card. One sentence: spring is especially beautiful because of snowfields and bright flowering valleys. We do not invent the rest of the calendar.
Package: transport, guide, insurance. Not included: food, water, trekking shoes, clothes for the weather. Highlights mention “gear”; the included list does not — this article counts only the included list. Tour: Pik Okhotnichiy.
Takeaway
Conclusion
Okhotnichiy is 3,099 m in one day, 700,000 UZS, snowfields and rock, view of Bolshoy Chimgan. Food is yours. Pik Okhotnichiy.

Uzbekistan for travellers from Korea: visa-free entry up to 30 days and trip planning
Citizens of the Republic of Korea may visit Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 30 days. The official Uzbekistan Airways page says this visa-free regime has applied since 10 February 2018. For a first visit, that lets you focus on the route, time between cities and travel documents instead of arranging a short-stay visa. Eligibility depends on citizenship and the individual trip, not on the airport you depart from. Your passport must be valid, and current entry and boarding requirements must be confirmed with an official authority or carrier before flying. This article is a planning guide, not a legal guarantee of admission.

Uzbekistan for US citizens in 2026: 30 visa-free days and trip planning
From 1 January 2026, US citizens may enter Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 30 days for business or tourism. That makes a short trip through Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva easier to plan, but it does not remove the need to check documents before departure. This is a practical preparation guide: what the 30-day visa-free rule means, which passport conditions apply, and when another visa is needed. It is not legal advice or a promise of boarding or admission at the border; rules and carrier requirements can change.

Uzbek food by city: how to plan a flavourful route
Planning food in Uzbekistan deserves the same care as planning trains and sightseeing. Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva each give you a different daily rhythm, market culture and reason to stop at the table. Plov changes from region to region, while non bread, samsa, tea, dried fruit and rice dishes unfold differently according to place, season and the individual kitchen. This is not a list of the one “correct” dishes, nor is it a promise of a fixed menu. It is a practical guide to city-by-city planning: when to leave time for a market, what to clarify before booking and why food needs to be discussed before an itinerary is confirmed. For food-focused travel formats, see our guide to gastronomy tours in Uzbekistan.
