Qoratepa is the hill Rhomb uses to introduce people to hiking, mostly because it asks almost nothing of your legs and gives back a lot for it. We start walking while it's still dark, reach the top with fifteen minutes to spare, and watch the sun come up over Samarqand's outskirts with tea in hand. Most people are back home before 9am.

Perfect first trip
I'd never hiked anything in my life before this. It was short, the guide checked in constantly, and watching the sunrise with tea in hand made me want to book the harder ones.
