Zurmala Stupa
Zurmala
The mud-brick remains of a Kushan-era stupa from roughly the 1st to 2nd century CE, about 13 m tall, among the oldest surviving above-ground structures in Uzbekistan.
The Zurmala Stupa stands in fields east of Old Termez. It is the mud-brick remnant of a Kushan-period stupa, about 13 m tall and 14 m in diameter. Originally it was faced with decorative stone slabs, and it remains a striking landmark of Termez as an ancient Buddhist center. The surrounding area is flat and open, so it can be seen from afar. In recent years a walking path and information panels have been installed. There are military facilities nearby, so do not photograph non-tourist areas. It is best to hire a car and stop on the way, allowing about 20 to 30 minutes.
