Beldersay (Kumbel petroglyphs)
Transfer to the gorge of the river Beldersay (1500 m). The beginning of the mountain route. Along the river rise to a wide picturesque glade (1700 m) and on the right side there will be the Urta Kumbel pass.
Nearby is a monument of the prehistoric era - Beldersay petroglyphs. Sometimes they are called Kumbel petroglyphs. Kumbel petroglyphs are rock paintings located at an altitude of 2450 meters. Trek along the river Beldersay to the place Shelkansu.
Petroglyphs are practically not studied and the materials on them are still unknown to the world. The big question is the age of the rock art on the crest of the Beldersay slope. High altitude, long-term exposure to the sun in summer and snow in winter make it difficult to determine their age. Presumably, the age of the rock paintings varies from 6 to 10 thousand years, and belongs to the Neolithic era. The descent along a good trail takes about 20 minutes.

Chahcham village​​​​​​​
Breakfast in the hotel
A trip to the mountain village of Chahcham, located near the mountain river Aksakata. Here you can visit the local lore house-museum with the rarest exhibits on the history of the Aksakatinka valley, which were collected by an amazing person, the local ascetic herbalist Daniyar. The owner of the house has collected a unique collection of jewelry, metal products, kitchen utensils dating back to the 17th-19th centuries. And of course you will be invited to dastarkhan - to drink tea with fragrant mountain herbs and Central Asian sweetness - navat - sugar in the form of large crystals, which is made from sugar syrup and grape juice.
You will also have the opportunity to participate in an exciting master class on baking cakes in the tandoor with the owners of the house.
Further, the path to the Marble Canyon, next to the Marble River, passes along the road that rises to the Chalk Pass. At first the path goes gently, then the bed of the Marble River begins to climb up the outcrop of the marble layers. There are many real marble bathtubs and jacuzzis, which look very inviting for travelers weary from the heat of the day. Along the banks of the Marble River there are many fossilized shells that have well preserved their shape. You can memorize as many as you like.
We go back along the same road, but, having reached the place of descent, which remains on the right, we go straight along the channel and quickly come to a place where the river breaks into gorges.

Visit to the ceramic workshop of Akbar and Alisher Rakhimov – this is a unique place, a piece of paradise in the old town, with a completely different approach to the process, products and aesthetic design.

Here you can find works of skilled embroiderers: carpets, shawls, scarves, bags embroidered in the national style.
Amir Temur Square – Around the Square are the hotel "Uzbekistan", the buildings of the Law Institute (the former building of the women's gymnasium), the Museum of Amir Temur, the famous Tashkent Chimes and one of the most grandiose architectural structures in Tashkent - the Palace of Forums.
Independence Square –This is a favorite vacation spot for residents of Tashkent. To a large extent, this was facilitated by the fact that the most beautiful fountains of the city are located on the square. Today, Independence Square is the venue for celebrations on holidays such as Uzbekistan's Independence Day (September 1).
