Embrace Mountains and Deserts in Uzbekistan by Hiking 1690m at the Nuratau Mountains

We rose early. The hike of the day will be a full 7-hour hike onto the peak of the Nuratau Mountains Range. The ascent is between 900 meters to 1690 meters, almost 700 meters of altitude to climb. We would see wonderful aerial views of the desert, the flatlands, and the mountains. This hike at the Nuratau Mountains has the advantage of requiring no stairs. All of the ascent was done on slopes, and they were mostly gentle. The most difficult was actually the windiness on the mountains. The wind was so strong I almost couldn’t breathe. It was fortunate that I brought enough clothing to cover my head and my face. On our way, we did see some really nice wildlife. In the first part of the hike, there was a lot of wild rhubarb. Without knowing how it tasted, I sucked the juice, and it was incredibly sour. I could see it as a great source of hydration though, in case anyone did not bring enough water for the hike. The descent was rather strenuous with a whole lot of unclear paths. I thought the descent was harder than the ascent.
