The story
Rock art near Khodjikent
The Khodjikent petroglyphs form a recognised rock-art destination near the Charvak approach. Images on exposed rock surfaces record several phases of human activity and belief.
Chronology needs care
Individual carvings cannot all be assigned to one date or people without specialist study. Popular interpretations should remain separate from archaeological conclusions.
A fragile open-air archive
Weathering, touching, chalking and tracing can permanently damage the images. Visitor behaviour matters more than obtaining a close photograph.
Access point requires confirmation
The page intentionally avoids an exact marker until the protected panel and public approach are independently verified. Combine only with a locally confirmed stop.
Why it matters
Visit Khodjikent Petroglyphs to understand a distinct layer of Tashkent and its region.
