Darband, located in the Boysun Mountains of Surkhandarya region, is regarded as one of Uzbekistan’s most remarkable natural and cultural landmarks. This small mountain village is situated at the entrance to the Darband Gorge, in an area known for its historical significance and cultural richness. The gorge functions as a natural passageway between valleys, and the name “Darband” is derived from Persian, meaning “closed gate” or “barrier.”
Visiting sites in Darband:
Darband Canyon—also referred to as Derbent Gorge—is an impressive natural formation located in the southwestern part of the Hissar (Gissar) Range. Extending approximately 7 to 8 kilometers in length, the canyon is bordered by steep limestone cliffs that rise to heights of up to 400 meters.
