Insider tip — Perched in a narrow alpine valley of the Alay Mountains on an Uzbek exclave surrounded by Kyrgyz territory, Shakhimardan is one of Central Asia's more remote thermal destinations. The warm silica-bearing springs emerge amid pine-forested slopes at around 1500 meters elevation, and the journey through the Fergana Valley and up winding mountain roads is itself an adventure. The exclave's isolated status means the atmosphere is quiet and the surrounding landscapes are largely untouched. Pack warm layers even in summer, as mountain nights here are cool regardless of season.
