Langar Ota Mosque

Langar Ota grew up around the grave of a revered Sufi sheikh, whose followers and descendants settled in the village. The mosque and the mausoleum next to it stand on a hillside above the houses, and the site is still an active place of pilgrimage.

The trip is as much about the landscape as the shrine. The road climbs through orchards and pastures, and on the way you pass villages where life follows the farming seasons. Plan it as a full day out from Karshi or Shahrisabz.
