Surxondaryo Region

Surxondaryo Region is an administrative division in southern Uzbekistan that spreads across river valleys bordered by mountain ranges and the Amu Darya River. The landscape features agricultural lands, smaller towns, and the capital city Termez positioned near the border with Afghanistan.

The region was established as an administrative unit in 1941 and has developed as a center of regional governance since then. The area contains numerous archaeological layers from different periods that testify to the long history of human settlement.

The region is home to multiple groups who have lived together for generations. You see this reflected in villages and towns where different traditions and languages coexist in daily life.

The area is well connected by a network of paved roads and railway lines, making travel between towns straightforward. The best time to explore is during spring or autumn when temperatures are more comfortable.

A peak in the mountains of the region reaches 4,643 meters and stands as the highest elevation in the entire country. This summit shapes the landscape and marks an impressive geographic boundary.
