Public Transport
From the Panjakent Bazaar, locate the minibus station nearby. Look for a minibus heading towards the 'Marguzor' or 'Lake' route (the drivers may not speak English, so showing the name written in Cyrillic can help). Once you find the correct minibus, board it and pay the fare, which is usually around 5-10 TJS. The journey will take about 45 minutes. Get off at the last stop, which is close to Marguzor Lake. From there, it is a short 10-minute walk to the lake itself.

Hiking
For the more adventurous, you can hike from Panjakent to Marguzor Lake. Start by heading southwest out of Panjakent towards the mountains. Follow the trail that leads through the scenic landscape, passing small villages and stunning views. The hike is approximately 15 km and will take around 4-5 hours, so ensure you have enough water and supplies. Once you reach the lake, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views.
