Tortgul Reservoir

Tortgul Reservoir adds a broad water landscape to the surroundings of Batken. It can be a worthwhile local excursion for views of the basin and nearby hills, especially when combined with a longer journey through the region. As an engineered water body, it has working infrastructure and variable shoreline conditions. Ask residents which approaches are public and suitable for stopping, and stay clear of restricted structures. The map point identifies the reservoir rather than a beach. Do not assume swimming, camping or driving along the exposed shore is permitted or safe.
