INTRODUCTION
Nanay waterfall is located in the northeastern part of
the Bostanlyk district of Tashkent region, 100 km from
Tashkent, in the area of the Nanay village. The height
of this waterfall is 8 meters and it receives water from
the Chotqol mountain range. Despite its high height, it
is rich in recreational resources. In order to develop the
ecotourism potential of the Bostanlyk district, it is
possible to organize an effective tourism zone in the
area of the Nanay waterfall.
The climate of the Nanay village, where the waterfall is
located, is sharply continental, with hot summers and
higher humidity than in other surrounding areas. The
amount of precipitation in the mountain-forest zone is
about 800-900 mm. Therefore, it is recommended to
come here in late spring and early summer. However,

in the summer months, cool weather is observed near
the waterfall. Even in summer, you can see large
glaciers that have not melted on the mountain slopes.
The main part of the population of the village of Nanay
is engaged in gardening and animal husbandry. There
are natural conditions for gardening and sufficient
mountain pastures for animal husbandry. Horticulture
specializes mainly in grape growing. Grape plantations
have been established in large areas. However, due to
the expanding ecotourism potential of the Bostanlyk
district, there are some restrictions on land use. In
addition, the main income of the local population is
from renting out dachas or plots, cattle breeding,
forestry, poultry farming, beekeeping and other types
of labor activities. Since the village of Nanay is located
in remote areas, it is not sufficiently supplied with
natural gas.
Main part
. The beautiful landscapes of the mountains
of the Bostanlyk district, clean and fresh air in pristine
nature attract tourists. Along with the large Chimyon-
Charvak areas in the Bostanlyk district, it is possible to
organize a similar large ecotourism zone if we pay
attention to the Nanay waterfall.
The origin of the name of the Nanay waterfall is
associated with the era of the Zoroastrian religion, and
it is said that it was named after a certain deity. There
are also assumptions that the name Nanay was given
based on the flora in the Nanay region. There are 2
villages in Uzbekistan named Nanay, one is located in
the Bostanlyk district of the Tashkent region and the
other is located in the Namangan region. In the
territory of the Nanay village of the Bostanlyk district,
there are the Big Nanay and the Small Nanay waterfalls.
The Big Nanay waterfall is also called the Aksarsoy
(Oqsarsoy) waterfall.
The Big Nanay waterfall is located far from residential
areas, and the road leading to the waterfall is 13 km
from the residential areas. A person walking at an
average pace can cover a distance of 13 km in 2 and a
half to 3 hours. Therefore, it is recommended for
tourists planning to go on foot to set off early. The road
consists mainly of dirt roads. After 3-4 km, the small
Nanay waterfall is located. After about 4.5-5 km from
the forestry post, you can reach the Big Nanay
waterfall. Big Nanay waterfall (Aksarsoy) is located in
the Aksarsoy gorge at an altitude of 1500 m above sea
level. Its height is more than 10 m. The long distance,
the difficulties encountered on the way, require a lot of
time and energy. However, for people with health
problems, who are recommended to breathe clean
mountain air and walk more, the road leading to this
waterfall is the same. For those who do not want to
walk to the waterfall, special vehicles are also
provided. They can take you to the waterfall for about
80 thousand soums per person for the service.
However, there is a special hike to this waterfall. The
reason is that through this you can get a lot of ideas

about the real mountain nature. Along the way,
streams flow from the mountains (especially in May-
June), forming springs. On the peaks of the Chatkal
mountain range, which are 3000 m high, the snow does
not melt even in the summer months. In the area of the
village of Nanay, you can find a lot of walnut, birch and
pine groves. In the area of the village of Nanay, more
than 1000 plant species belonging to 70 families have
been recorded, 200 of which are medicinal plants used
in medicine. This is the reason for the abundance of
such medicinal plants in the organization of resorts.
Along the way, in June, you can find a medicinal plant -
rowan. The foothills are covered with meadows and
junipers, in some places there are walnut groves,
mountain pistachio, linden, cherry, citron, hawthorn
and other trees and shrubs. In the upper reaches of the
rivers, trees such as poplar, willow, linden, cherry grow
in the valleys. At an altitude of 2,400 meters, in the
mountain steppe, there are Gray and Kaufman tulips,
soapwort and piskom onions, which are listed in the
Red Book of Uzbekistan. Grapes grown by local
residents through the cultivation of hills and slopes are
world famous. Grape plantations are mainly grown on
loamy land. Delicious grape varieties are grown on
fertile soil saturated with rainwater. Fruits ripening in
clean oxygen-saturated air also attract tourists.

Despite the fact that the roads to the waterfall were
repaired in 2014, there are a number of inconveniences
when getting there. One of them is that you have to
cross 3 large ditches along the way to the waterfall. It
would be advisable to install special bridges. Since
there are no special signs along the road, it is not out
of the question for a lone tourist who does not know
the way to get lost. There is a guard service around the
forest, but they are quite a distance from the waterfall.
If toilets, hotels, shops, and special service areas are
established on the roads leading to the waterfall or in
areas near the waterfall, amenities will increase and
through them it will be possible to develop tourism and
increase the number of tourists. This tourism zone can
be used not only as a tourist destination, but also as a
resort or resort area.
Many tourists come to see the Nanai Falls, rest on the
benches along the way, and return without seeing the
waterfall. The inconvenience was attributed to the
difficulties of the road. Another difficulty for tourists
walking on foot is finding clean filtered drinking water.
The reason is that 1 tourist walking 13 km needs at least
2-3 liters of water per person. But it is a bit difficult to
carry this water to a higher altitude. There are no
settlements or shops along the way to get water. Most
Nanai residents and tourists have to use the water
from the stream or spring flowing from the waterfall
instead of drinking water. However, today,
environmentalists have banned the use of stream and
spring water as drinking water. In addition,
precipitation falls to the ground with various dust and
bacteria in the atmosphere. They freeze when the
weather cools and melt with the arrival of spring,
supplying water to rivers, streams, and springs.
Therefore, using stream and spring water as drinking
water

does
not
meet
environmental
requirements. In turn, this can cause various diseases.

If a tourism zone is established here and sufficient
conditions are created for tourists on foot, this will not
only increase the number of tourists, but also provide
employment or income for the population. Currently,
Nanay residents are also increasing their income by
renting out huts. Huts do not fully meet demand.
Tourism, especially ecotourism, should have all the
necessary natural conditions, only investment, and a
well-designed project that meets world standards. If
this project includes cable cars that allow you to
observe the beauty of nature from above, the project's
effectiveness will increase further. The average income
that can be generated from 1 tourist per day is 580
thousand soums (calculated based on the primary
needs of tourists). These include;
160 thousand soums for transportation from Nanay
village to the waterfall (round trip). 70 thousand soums
for purchasing food. Souvenirs cost 100 thousand
soums, photo session service 50 thousand soums. The
rental fee for 1 day of use of a tent or hotel is 200
thousand soums. In addition, tourists can also make
additional sales or use other types of service areas
created in the hotel. For example, they can use the
gym, swimming pool, buy national items or clothes of
the Uzbek people that interest them, or relax by
reading a book in the lap of nature.
An average visit by a family of 5 people allows them to
generate income of more than 3 million soums. In
order to achieve high efficiency, it is important to
attract investments correctly. If sufficient investment
is made for Nanay Falls, it will allow for high-level
tourism development. It is especially important to
organize special service areas in accordance with world
standards and at a high level for this tourism zone.
Advertising is an important factor in the development
of tourism based on Nanay Waterfall. The reason is that
the majority of visitors to this place are local residents.
Almost the entire population of Uzbekistan does not
have sufficient information about this place.
CONCLUSION
Nanay village is distinguished not only by its charming
waterfall and unique mountain nature with beautiful
scenery. It is no exaggeration to say that with such
natural conditions, this area has all the necessary
conditions for creating an ecotourism zone. Tourists go
to Nanay Waterfall not only to see the waterfall, but
also to see the unique landscape in the mountains of
Nanay village. Especially traveling in a group gives a
person a different aesthetic pleasure. Several
ecosystems and their species that need to be studied
are widespread in the Nanay region, and there are
many opportunities for tourism development here.
