Ugam Chatkal National Park

Ugam-Chatkal National Park is located in the Republic of Uzbekistan, in the Western Tien Shan region. The park was founded in 1992 as a result of the merger of the Chatkal Biosphere Reserve and several forest farms located next door.

Today, Ugam-Chatkal National Park is the largest environmental complex of the republic. At least 2,200 species of plants are identified on the territory of the park - from the Turan desert flora to the high-mountain flora of the Pamir-Alai. The main purpose of the park is to preserve the mountain and arch forests and their fauna from the threat of extinction. Numerous studies are constantly carried out on the territory of the reserve aimed at preserving endangered species of flora and fauna. The efforts of the reserve staff are not in vain - today the population of many endangered species of animals is increasing in the national park.

There are 280 species of animals here. In most of the park is allowed free passage for tourists. The most suitable time to visit the national park is the end of spring and the beginning of summer.
