Shirkent Gorge
Ascent from the road to the rock mass with dinosaur footprints (Shirkent-2) along the bed of a side tributary of the river. Further up the river we will make our way. A very beautiful path goes from the apiary along the crests of ridges and spurs. The trail follows a small river first, where there is a lot of cherry plum.
You will explore the Dinosaur footprint here. It's 5km hiking from the entrance of the valley.
