Things to Do in Arslanbob
Starting points for your perfect trip
Walnut Forest
Walk through 11,000 hectares of the world's largest natural walnut forest, where trees up to 1,000 years old tower 30 meters high and 2 meters in diameter. In September, join local families at ancestral harvest camps, learning gathering techniques passed down for generations.
Holy Lake Trek
A demanding 4-day trek through the Babash-Ata Mountains to Kol Mazar, the sacred Holy Lake at 3,200 meters. Cross the Chakmak Tash Pass at 3,262 meters and Ontomo Pass at 3,400 meters, camp on alpine jailoos, and witness local Muslim pilgrims performing rituals at this revered site.
Waterfall Circuit
Hike to both of Arslanbob's waterfalls—the 80-meter Big Waterfall cascading through a dramatic cliff face north of the village, and the 23-meter Small Waterfall with its prayer caves, including the Cave of the 40 Angels where a holy woman reportedly once lived and prayed.
Uzbek Cultural Homestay
Stay with local families through the Community Based Tourism network in this predominantly Uzbek village. Learn to prepare traditional plov over open flame, sample walnut-honey zhansak sweets, and share stories around the evening dastarkhan spread with homemade walnut oil and fresh bread.
Horseback Expedition to the Sere Valley
Ride Kyrgyz horses from Arslanbob across the Chakmak Tash Pass at 3,262 meters, descending into the Sere Valley where yaks graze alpine meadows. The 3-day loop through CBT Arslanbob includes camping on jailoos and passing through landscapes unchanged since Silk Road caravans.
Mazar of Arslanbob-Ata & Sufi Heritage
The 16th-century mazar of Arslanbob-Ata features walnut-wood door frames with ram's horn carvings and adjoins a mosque with an ornate ceiling. This complex is the center of the Hairy Ishans, a Sufi order from the Yasawiya tradition. Pilgrims travel from across Central Asia to pray here.
