The Sapphire Escape – 2-Day Immersion in The Seven Lakes (Haft Kul)
S&P Travel invites you on a journey that transcends borders and time. Beyond the turquoise domes of Samarkand, whose splendour was forged by the Silk Road, lies a unique cultural soul. It is in this historical context, where caravans once connected the Uzbek and Tajik peoples, that we offer you an extension to the secret natural heart of Tajikistan: the legendary Seven Lakes (Haft Kul). This tour, a perfect blend of 4x4 transfer and trekking, is a promise of authenticity and pure air.
Your adventure begins right after crossing the Jarteppa border. S&P Travel arranges your transfer (69 km) through the Penjikent region to the host village. Far from the bustle of the world, you are immediately immersed in the rural and traditional life of Tajikistan. Lunch is served at the homestay, a first taste of local cuisine in a natural and family setting. The afternoon marks the start of the trekking. Setting off from the first lake, Nezhegon, you follow a chromatic cascade that intensifies with every step, passing the second and third jewels. The hike leads you to the fourth lake, Nofin (1800 m), where you stop to breathe the pure air and enjoy the serenity of the landscapes. It is near this mirror of water that you will dine and spend the night, enveloped by the calm and peaceful warmth of family hospitality.
The second day opens onto the magnificent beauty of the Seven Lakes. After a traditional breakfast with the locals, S&P Travel takes you towards the top of this lacustrine cascade. An ascending transfer (11 km) leads you to the final jewel: the seventh lake, Hazorchashma (2400 m). At this altitude, the crystalline water and pure air offer superb views. You will have ample time to hike around this lake, absorbing the power of its nature. Returning to the homestay, you have the opportunity to delve even deeper into the local culture with an optional masterclass in preparing bread or emblematic traditional dishes like plov. A final family lunch, celebrating rich Tajik cuisine, concludes your stay.
The echo of the Haft Kul will remain with you long after your return transfer to the Jarteppa border crossing. S&P Travel guarantees that this escape is not just a journey, but an intimate encounter with the soul of Tajikistan, rich in hospitality and raw natural beauty.
