Arslanbob Walnut Forest
Арстанбап жаңгак токою
One of the largest natural walnut forests in the world. Ancient trees tower over the forest, and in autumn the whole village climbs the hills to camp and harvest walnuts.
Arslanbob is surrounded by about 11,000 hectares of natural walnut forest, mixed with wild apple, wild pear, and pistachio trees. It is thought to be one of the origins of the European walnut. Horse-riding and hiking trails run through the forest, where you can find centuries-old giant trees. Late September to October is harvest season. Many families move into tents in the forest for a month, and visitors can join in. Entry to the forest is free. It is recommended to hire a guide through the Community-Based Tourism (CBT) office.
