Powerful, beautiful and noisy, the Paltau waterfall falls down with an impressive stream of water from a height of about 35 meters, its source is the sai, the beginning of which is located on the spurs of the Koksuy ridge, in close proximity to the state border with Kyrgyzstan, on the territory of the Tashkent region.

The journey there lies among various mountain landscapes on the territory of the Chatkal nature reserve, located in the spurs of the western Tien Shan. The word Paltau came from the Turkich language. The original name is Pulat Tau, which means iron mountain. Since ancient times, the mountains surrounding Paltau-say have been famous for ore rich in iron content. And the remains of a smelting furnace dating back to the Middle Ages have survived to this day.
On the way to the waterfall, the trail will lead to a cave, which is an interesting natural landmark. Below the cave is an archaeological site, the site of ancient people of the Paleolithic period - the Obi-Rakhmat grotto. Where were the bones of an ancient man found.
The Paltau waterfall fascinates with its inexhaustible source of energy, and staying near it brings not only aesthetic pleasure, but also has a healing effect: water falling from a height forms mist, in which negative ions are formed under the influence of sunlight. Such dust, saturated with phytoncides of plants, which are always abundant near waterfalls, has a very large positive effect on the body.
