About the place

Tuyabuguz is an artificial lake on the middle course of the Akhangaran river, one of two reservoirs on that river. People in the capital call it Tashmore, the Tashkent Sea. Its water irrigates farmland in the Tashkent region through canals on the left bank, and a small 12-megawatt hydropower station opened on it in 2019.

The town of Tuyabuguz sits at the northern end, and the Tashkent–Bekabad highway runs along the top of the dam, so you cross the water if you drive that way.

Why go

  • The Tashkent Sea, about 30 km south of the capital
  • Highway along the top of the dam
  • Irrigation water for the Tashkent region
