- Seven Lakes - Travel to Marghuzor, the first lake, situated at an elevation of 1,640 meters. Its name means “eyelashes” in Tajik, and it is renowned for its vibrant colors.
Next, you will visit Soya Lake. Its name means “shadow” because it is nestled between high cliffs, keeping it shaded for most of the day.
The third lake, Gushor, is only 400 meters from Soya. These two lakes are connected by a flowing stream. Named “watchful,” this lake is surrounded by steep cliffs.
The fourth lake, Nofin, is the main lake, translating to “umbilical cord” due to its 2.5 km length.
The fifth lake, located 1.5 km from Nofin and passing through the charming village of Pardut, is Khurdak Lake, meaning “the baby,” as it is the smallest of the seven.
The sixth lake, Marguzor, is the largest and, for many, the most beautiful of the Seven Lakes.
- Seven Lakes - We now drive (Optional trek from Sixth Lake) to Hazorchashma – the seventh and highest of the Seven Lakes, located approximately 2,400 meters above sea level. The name Hazorchashma (or Azorchashma) means “a thousand springs,” as the lake is fed by two rivers along with numerous streams and springs. Hazorchashma is the final lake in the Shing River gorge. The distance is 2.5 km one way, with an elevation gain of 340 meters.
