TOURISM Khoja Obi Garm
A balneal climatic resort is located 48 km away towards the north
of Dushanbe. It is located in the central part of the southern
slope of the Hissor mountain chain, in the gorge of Khoja Obi
Garm river at the altitude of 1740-1960 meters. Gorgeous
nature, diversity of trees and bush plants, mountain waterfalls
and rivers make auspicious conditions for enjoyable rest.
Besides a favorable mountain climate the main revitalizing
factor at the place is thermal (65-95°С), slightly mineralized
(0,4 – 0,5 g/l), nitrogenous chloride-hydro carbonated and
sulphated sodium water applied for bath, shower and lavage
procedures. Natural steam that comes out from the ground is also
used for medical purposes,because its condensate is made of
slightly mineralized, chloride-hydro carbonated sodium water with
the radon concentration for up to 22 nKi/l (temperature – 92°С)
A sanatorium (accommodates up to 370 people) operates at the
area to provide medical treatment services for those who
experience blood-circulation organs malfunction, movement
apparatus malfunction, nerve system malfunction or
gynecological illnesses.
