Ugam river rafting is a day trip from Tashkent into the Western Tian Shan: not a hike, a raft run. The tour card is explicit: 18+ only.
Below — distance, time on the water, what is issued. No invented rapid grade: the programme does not list one.
Summary
The essentials in a minute

The Ugam, Western Tian Shan: gorges, steep rock, mountain plants, cold water and rapids. A different Uzbekistan from Samarkand and Bukhara — one day, no overnight.
Nearby summits: which mountain from Tashkent. Programme: Ugam rafting.
How the day runs
Start: meet in Tashkent, transfer to the river through the foothills, instructor, safety briefing, life vests and paddles.
Run: mountain current with riffles and rapids. 9 km take 40–50 minutes. The instructor steers the raft. At the finish — gear return, a rest, transfer back to Tashkent.
What 659,000 UZS includes
Tashkent–Ugam–Tashkent transport, a companion for the day, the run (9 km, 40–50 minutes), a group instructor, vests and paddles.

What to bring
From the programme only:
- clothes you can get wet;

No special training required. The hard limit: 18+.
This is not a substitute for a summit
Rafting does not replace Bolshoy Chimgan. You are on the water 40–50 minutes; the rest is road and briefing. A full day on a trail is a different tour.

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.
