Zaamine is an environmentally friendly area that has preserved its pristine beauty and has unique flora and fauna. Zaamin Reserve is located in Jizzak region of Uzbekistan between Samarkand and Tashkent. It is known from history that Zaamin was a part of one of the oldest regions of Central Asia – Ustrushana – lying between historical regions of Sogd, Baktriya, Fergana and Chach. According to archaeological sources, this land was cultivated more than two thousand years ago (II-I centuries BC). During excavations the remains of settlements of more than 2,500 years old were found here. Translated from Tajik, “Zaamin” means « arable land » because in ancient times this area was famous for the fertility of the soil.
There are all necessary infrastructure facilities on the territory of Zaamin National Park including recreation centers and guest houses provided with electricity, gas and water. Convenient approach roads enable us to organize tours all year round. It is possible to organize hiking mountain tours – starting from day trips to longer tours of 3-4 days, horse tours, hiking routes, games and competitions on orienteering, as well as easy ski tours in winter.
