Hisor Range

The Hisor Range is a mountain chain spanning Central Asia across Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, forming a natural boundary between valleys and plains. It runs east to west with peaks that rise above the surrounding landscape and shape the region's geography.

The range served as a key passage for trade routes connecting ancient civilizations across Central Asia. Archaeological findings show that people have used this area for thousands of years.

The range shapes how local herders move their flocks up and down the slopes depending on the season. This seasonal movement remains a central part of how people in the region live with the land.

The range can be entered from various points on both the Tajikistan and Uzbekistan sides, with Dushanbe offering good access as a starting point. The best time to visit depends on weather conditions and the altitude you plan to reach.

The range contains Alpomish Peak, which at about 4,668 meters stands as the highest mountain in Uzbekistan. This summit often goes unnoticed by visitors despite being a significant landmark in the region.
