An incredibly beautiful point on the map of our country. An artificial reservoir that was founded in the first half of the 19th century. Now on the shore of the reservoir there are numerous recreation areas and natural beaches.

Nice dam. Good place for having a rest, perhaps spending a night by wild camping.

The photos were taken from Karakchikum. During summer time, the water is very warm and you can have a beautiful view of mountains. However, the infrastructure is not developed yet and public facilities should not be expected. There are several sanatoriums and hotels in the west side of Kairakum Reservoir.

The Tajik Sea (Kayrakum) is the man-made reservoir in the Ferghana ValleyKairakkum reservoir, begins 20 km from Khujand, stretching 50 km to the east. This artificial lake was created in the 50s of the XX century to install a hydroelectric power station and regulate the flow of the Syr Darya. Since our country has no outlet to the world ocean, therefore we often call it the "Tajik Sea". In numbers, the Kairakkum reservoir looks quite impressive: 55 km long, 20 km wide, 25 meters deep, and the total water volume is 4.2 km3. In addition, in cold winters, the Kairakkum reservoir freezes, and in summer, the air temperature near the coast is 30-35
