“Amazing experience ”
The heliostat was incredible, and Shovkat was a really enjoyable and helpful guide. He answered all of my many questions and narrated a lot of the history of Uzbekistan. I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend for others.

“Really interesting ”
Very knowledgeable guide, very good English. The heliocomplex itself is fascinating. Built by the Russians about 40 years ago and still being used today for research the array of mirrors can create temperatures of 2000 degree. If you are willing to pay a few dollars more they will use one of the mirrors to set a chunk of wood on fire and burn holes in a steel bar and a brick. The views from the hill behind the mirrors and from the top of the concentrator building are great but require a long uphill walk and climbing many flights of stairs. The stairs are made of steel grates that you can see through which can be a bit disorienting especially if you are uncomfortable with heights. Well worth a trip, and Shovkat is an electrical engineer which makes him the perfect guide for this tour.
