Seven Lakes (Haft Kul) Tourism

Type of destination: Natural attraction

Ideal visit duration: 2-3 days

The Seven Lakes, also known as Haft Kul, are situated in the west-central Fann Mountains, part of the Pamir-Alay range in Tajikistan's Sughd Province, near the city of Panjakent. Each lake has its own unique shade of blue or turquoise, attributed to the varying mineral composition and depth of the waters. These lakes are formed by geological activity and are fed by melting snow and springs. Starting from the lowest altitude, the first lake is named Nezhigon (Eyelash), followed by Soya, Hushyor, Nofin, Khurdak, Marguzor, and Hazorchashma. As one ascends from lake to lake, the road meanders through traditional Tajik villages, and the stunning scenery offers a glimpse into the lives of the locals who live in this rugged terrain. The lakes are a hub for ecotourism and outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and fishing. Traditional guesthouses and homestays in the nearby villages provide hospitality to visitors seeking the unique natural beauty and cultural experiences the region offers.
