The Charvak reservoir is a grandiose man-made structure. Once upon a time, at the intersection of three large rivers - Pskem, Ugam and Chatkal - there were four gardens (“Chor Bog” translated literally means “four gardens”), which are now hidden under the water at a depth of more than a hundred meters. In 1964, during the construction of the Charvak hydroelectric power station, the village of Charvak was formed.

The reservoir dam itself is a powerful stone and sand fortification 168 meters high.

The reservoir is filled with the waters of one of the largest rivers in these lands - the Chirchik. Along the entire coast of the Charvak reservoir there are currently cafes, holiday villages, hotel complexes and beach areas, many gardens, mountaineering camps, children's health camps, dispensaries and hospitals. Well-established infrastructure, transport and stunning clean air attract thousands of tourists all year round. The many species of fish that are found in the Charvak reservoir have generated great interest in sport fishing among both local fishermen and foreign tourists.

Mountain tourism in Uzbekistan and mountaineering are also well developed in these parts. And indeed, from almost any peak in the vicinity of the Charvak reservoir there is a view that will take your breath away. Due to the increased popularity of this place in terms of tourism, infrastructure is rapidly developing in the vicinity of Charvak and Chimgan, turning tourists’ holidays on the coast into a real paradise.

Since Central Asia is not so rich in water resources, Charvak is a favorite destination for many Uzbek citizens, because here you can experience all the delights of a resort on the coast. In addition, the picturesque surroundings of Charvak themselves have become a recognizable landmark - a rare photographer who has visited here will not have a favorite photo of this place.

However, Charvak is interesting not only for its nature; on its shore is the village of Bogiston, famous for its two sons - Sheikh Khovendi at-Takhur, better known under the name Sheikhantaur, and Sheikh Ubaydullah Akhror, a descendant of the first.

Sheikhantaur stood at the origins of the Naqshbandi Sufi order, his meekness, wisdom and care for the deprived glorified him throughout Transoxiana. His teachings about love and kindness found echoes in the hearts of thousands of people, who later called him “the wisest of the wise.” The Great Tamerlane erected a mausoleum for him in Tashkent in order to honor his name.

His descendant Ubaydullah Akhror continued his work, becoming a great master of Sufism and taking over the spiritual leadership of the entire region in the 15th century.
