Charvak reservoir

Charvak reservoir or Charvak Lake is one of the favorite vacation spots near Tashkent. The reservoir is artificial. It was filled in 1970 after the construction of the Charvak hydroelectric power station in Uzbekistan, and was fully completed 8 years later. After that, they created a fishing farm and improved the beach strip.

The advantageous location of several settlements flowing into the nearby rivers Pskem, Chatkal and Chirchik, and a major highway passing through here, made the area suitable for creating a resort area. We opened catering outlets, hotels, water activities and organized fishing.

The season lasts from May to September, but people come at any time of the year. In summer, the air temperature rises to +35°C, and the water warms up to +25°C, which is ideal for comfortable swimming, even for children. By the end of September, a significant cooling occurs.

The pool area is 37 km2. It appeared in a stone-filled dam 168 m high. The volume of water is 2 m3 from 94 km of coastline. The surface is highly transparent with a gentle entrance, only at the beginning of the approach there are turbidity due to fine sand.

Aquatic vegetation is found in some parts. Whitefish, pelage, carp, trout and marinka are found.The space stretches between the Tien Shan and Chatkalsky ranges, which create a mountainous coast.
