What the region offers travellers

What the region offers travellers

Namangan Region lies in the northern part of the Fergana Valley and draws travellers with its landscapes, climate and long history.

Mountain ranges stretch across the north of the region, opening up mountain tourism, trekking, ecotourism and active holidays: clean air, mountain rivers, waterfalls and summer pastures.

Chortoq is known for its healing mineral waters and has become a centre for wellness tourism. The Kosonsoy, Yangiqo'rg'on, Pop and Chust districts stand out for their scenery, gardens and historical monuments.

Namangan has long been known as a city of flowers. Its gardening and floriculture traditions have been passed down through generations for centuries, and today they culminate in the International Flower Festival.

If you are planning a trip, the Photo Gallery section of this site holds detailed material on individual districts along with downloadable guides.
Crafts and living traditions

Crafts and living traditions

Namangan Region is one of Uzbekistan's largest centres of traditional crafts.

The Chust knife is the region's best-known product. The knife-making school built up over centuries continues today: smiths forge the blade by hand, while the handle and sheath are decorated with national ornament. The Chust knife is valued not only as an everyday tool but as a symbol of Uzbek craftsmanship.

The Chust skullcap — black fabric embroidered with a white pattern — is another national emblem known across the country.

Pottery, embroidery and woodcarving are also still practised across the region.

Visitors can watch these pieces being made in the craftsmen's own workshops and buy souvenirs directly from the makers. It is one of the most memorable parts of a trip to the region.
