Marguzor Seven Lakes (Haft Kul)
Ҳафткӯл
Seven high mountain lakes linked in a valley, changing colour from emerald green to deep blue. Reachable by car or on foot.
Seven lakes lie one after another along the Shing Gorge: Mizhgon, Soya, Khushyor, Nofin, Hurdak, Marguzor and Hazorchashma. Their colours range from emerald green to bright blue, depending on the minerals and the light. A dirt road can take you as far as the sixth lake, Marguzor. From there it is about an hour's walk to the last lake, Hazorchashma. Penjikent is about 60 km away, and the one-way drive takes about 2 to 3 hours. You can hire a car for a day trip and return, or stay overnight in a guesthouse in the village of Marguzor to experience mountain village life.
