INTRODUCTION
"Zomin tourist zone"
- Zomin National Park,
located in the basin of the Zomin and Sanzor rivers,
occupying an area of 50 thousand hectares, was
established in 1978. It was newly established
according to the Decree of the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan on June 20, 2023 "On
measures to establish the Zomin tourist and
recreation zone and international all-season
resort". The main purpose of creating the park was
to establish the Zomin tourist-recreational zone
and to protect the unique and relatively unchanged
natural complexes (landscapes) typical of the
northern left slopes of the mountains of Turkestan,
in particular, the rich and diverse spruce forests of
this part of the range. These are the highest and
densest forests in Central Asia. Today, it is the only
massif of protected spruce forests located in the
Pamir-Aloy range. "Zomin" tourist-recreational
zone from 1000 m to 4300 m above sea level and
covers all high mountain landscapes, is a tourist
recreation zone typical of the northern slopes of
the Pamir-Aloy mountain range.[1]
The following is specified in the Presidential
Decree "On measures to establish the Zomin"
tourist and recreation zone and an international
all-season resort:
modern hotel complexes, cultural-sanitary, trade-
entertainment and other objects of tourist
importance in the territory of the tourist zone , as
well as opening of modern engineering
infrastructure facilities;
"Suffa Plateau" in the tourist zone . 2,400"
international all-season resort and establishment
of the "Oriklisoy" tourism complex ;
- it is established that the tourist zone will be
organized for 30 years with the possibility of
further extension, and the construction of modern
hotel
complexes,
cultural-sanitary,
trade-
entertainment and other objects of tourist
importance, as well as the establishment of
modern engineering infrastructure facilities in the
territory of the tourist zone .
Also, the amount of fees for entering and exiting
the Zomin National Nature Park once a day was
determined, and through these fees, the
administration of the Zomin National Park brought
1,279,692 thousand soums to the state treasury. In

aesthetic relaxation in the heart of nature, to treat
various diseases, and to build sanatoriums in
places where there are natural mineral and healing
water sources with different natural and chemical
properties.[2]
"Aydar-Arnasoy lake system and tourist tents"
- Lake Aydar is a large inland water div located in
the north-eastern part of the city of Jizzakh. It is the
main destination for local and foreign tourists in
Forish and Arnasoy districts. It is a large water
div formed as a result of overflowing of the
Syrdarya. The area is particularly interesting for
wild animals, various species of endemic and
migratory birds, pelicans, red geese and white-
tailed birds. Nurota-Kyzilkum biosphere reserve
was established on the southern shore of the lake
to preserve wild animals and rare species.
Aydarkol is rich in fish, so the inhabitants of small
villages around the lake are engaged in fishing and
make a living from the lake. A wide range of
activities such as fishing, boating, wildlife and rare
bird watching are organized for travelers visiting
the region.
In this regard, A. Taylakov emphasizes that the
Aydar-Arnasoy region has wide opportunities for
the development of ecotourism, and emphasizes
the importance of paying attention to the following
4 aspects when defining eco-tour routes in this
region. They are as follows:
1) Landscapes around West Aydarkol (Kyzilkum
desert landscapes).
2) Eastern Aydarkol surrounding landscapes (the
part adjacent to Kizilkum desert and Northern
Nurota mountains).
3) Landscapes around Lake Tuzkon (the part
adjacent to the Mirzachol plain).
4) There are landscapes around Lake Arnasoy (the
part adjacent to the Qzilkum desert and the
Mirzachol plain). Ecotouristic tourism includes
ecotours on horses, ecotours on camels, ecotours
on helicopters, ecotours on foot; It is important to
expand hunting ecotypes, adventure ecotypes, and
spiritual-educational ecotypes depending on the
functional classification of ecotourism in the
landscapes around Tuzkon Lake (the part adjacent
to the Mirzachol plain).[3]
If we pay attention to the tour routes of foreign
tourists coming to the Aydar Arnasoy lake system
ecotourism area, most of them first come to the city
of Jizzakh and then visit the lakes. When going from
Jizzakh to the Aydar Arnasoy lake system, you
should choose a route that takes into account the
combination of natural scenery and road
infrastructure. Tourists from Jizzakh city can see
limestone mining process in Temiryazovo region,
Khanbandi dam, thousand-year-old savar tree on
Nurota mountain, walnut groves and springs,
views of Pistalitog, Aydar-Arnasoy lakes and
healing mud in Tuzkon, forest and desert
landscapes, Mirzachol mineral waters and
treatment centers. they will enjoy. Traveling along
this route covers about 230 km, including round
trips. The main part of the road will be accessible
by light and minibuses, as well as by horses and
camels for forest and desert views, and by boats for
lake views, according to the wishes and wishes of
tourists.[4]
Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 347
dated April 22, 2019 approved the Resolution on
measures to further improve the use of biological
resources of the Aydar-Arnasoy lakes system. In
the decision, ensure strict compliance with the
requirements of legal documents on nature
protection and use of biological resources by
individuals and legal entities;
preservation of biological diversity of the system,
as well as cultivation of new species of fish in water
bodies and their inclusion in the fishing network;
rapid development of fish farming, processing,
packaging, storage and export by attracting large
foreign direct investments, as well as establishing

fish farming clusters;
development of amateur and sports fishing
tourism, tourism infrastructure, and increase in
the volume of tourist services are approved. [5]
In this regard, the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat
Mirziyoev, on November 8, 2021, at a meeting on
the development of ecotourism in the Aydar-
Arnasoy lake system, decided to adopt a program
to improve the ecological condition of the Aydar-
Arnasoy lake system, and within the framework of
it, take measures to maintain a stable water level
and reduce the level of salinity.
"Safari" tented tourist resort is located 5 km from
the west coast of Aydarkol, near the village of
Dong'elek, in the center of Kyzylkum desert, 60 km
from Nurota. At the moment, this is one of the
largest and most comfortable camping camps in
Uzbekistan . 20 tent houses are permanently
installed in the camp. They are decorated with
carpets and rugs handmade by local artisans, and
colorful fabric patterns and chandeliers create a
festive atmosphere in the tent. It is eco-friendly as
it is made from simple natural materials such as
wood, sticks and felt wrapped in sheep's wool.
Tourists spend the evening around the fire,
listening to the songs of the local aqin (performer
of national songs) in an unusually quiet and
peaceful atmosphere. Tourists can take a 1-2-hour
camel ride to the unique Aydarkol lake, which
stretches for 250 km in the middle of the desert,
have lunch with freshly caught fish, and relax. Not
far from the tents, there is a unique complex of
lakes where the locals mine table salt by hand. [6]
"Gate of Amir Temur" (Temurlang-Ilon Otti
Darasi)
is one of the famous and interesting
tourist destinations of Jizzakh region. It is also
mentioned in Russian sources as Temurlang Gate
(Tamrelanovo vorota). This gorge is located on the
banks of the Sanzor River, which flows from the
east of the Nurota Mountains near Jizzakh. The
gorge, 120-130 meters wide, is blocked by two
huge rocks, forming a 40-meter passage, named
after the great general - Amir Temur (Temur). On
the rock to the right of the gate, you can see Persian
inscriptions carved by the rulers who passed
through the gorge.
This gorge, that is, the corridor between the
mountains, is located in the heart of the region,
separating Nurota and Morguzar mountains . In its
place, as an important ethnocommunication
destination, it served as the "eastern gate" of
military strategic importance .[7] That is why the
mountain pass has always been a region of
intersection of economic cultures characteristic of
northern nomadic pastoralists and southern
settled
people,
that
is,
a
specific
ethnocommunication area for the processes of
migration and mutual ethnointegration . Amir
Temur (Temurlang) gate fully understood these
features Ya. Ghulamov rightly admitted that "the
nomads who carried out raids from the deserts of
Shosh and Fergana to Sogd went to Zarafshan oasis
through Jizzakh, Ilon Otti gorge, and to Bukhara
and Karman through Jizzakh and Nurota".
Since the beginning of the 2000s, special attention
has been paid to this tourist destination. In 2001-
2010, some researches were carried out on the
historical value of the rock inscriptions
(petroglyphs) in this tourist place, their
restoration, and the history of the emergence of the
small cave corridor. Later, this tourist destination
was included in the list of the most prestigious
"Cultural heritage objects with high tourism
potential, planned to create conditions for visitors"
in accordance with the Decision of the Cabinet of
Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On
additional measures for the development of
domestic and pilgrimage tourism". [8] The unique
ecofauna and flora of the mountain attracts local
and foreign tourists. Around the gorge there are
trees such as walnut, juniper, and fir. Both sides of
the gorge are surrounded by rocks. Local and

foreign tourists from the eastern and western
regions of the republic stop in this place, travel,
rest and continue on their way.
The distinguishing feature of this tourist area is its
location on the highway Tashkent-Jizzakh-
Samarkand. In this regard, Lucien Keren writes
that the following inscription carved on a rock at
the entrance to a narrow gorge (also called
"Temur's Gate") near Jizzakh on the road leading
from Tashkent to Samarkand is well preserved:
"With the help of God, the great sultan who
conquers kings and nations, Ulugbek, the shadow
of God on earth, the helper of the kings loved by
God, organizes a series of military campaigns to the
Mongolian land and returns from them safe and
sound.
