About the place
The Sangardak waterfall is in Sariosiyo district of Surkhandarya region, near the village of Sangardak at the foot of the Hisor range. Its water comes from karst springs and from streams that emerge from caves in the limestone, so it keeps flowing even after the snow has melted.
Local people call the place Sharsharamozor, the waterfall shrine. The best time to come is from May to September, when the mountain road is open and the valley is green. Allow about two hours with the walk from the village, and bring water and sturdy shoes for the rocky path.
