Overview

The Pulatkhan Plateau is the pearl of the western Tien Shan, which is hidden behind the Big Chimgan Mountain. To see Pulatkhan, you need to climb one of the nearby peaks, and the walking route to the plateau is more than 40 km and takes 2 days!

Our helicopter tour to the Pulatkhan Plateau will allow you to see this natural landmark in just one hour, with the countdown starting at the Tashkent airport. The helicopter flight itself is already an exciting experience, and together with Pulatkhan it will be just a grand journey.

Arriving at the plateau, you will land on its eastern side, where the steepest cliffs are located. A walk at the edge of the abyss will leave you with many vivid impressions and trembling sensations! And don't forget to take a camera to save all the impressions of the one-day helicopter tour to the Pulatkhan Plateau.
