Witness a vast array of exotic and local plant species while enjoying each other's company. Afterward, indulge in the charm of local Uzbek cuisine with a romanโฆ
- Begin your date with a leisurely stroll in the awakening Botanika. With over 4500 species of plants, this verdant refuge is a unique spot to enjoy the natural beauty together. As you walk hand in hand, you can discuss the fascinating plant species along with the beautiful set up of the park.

Savour a meal together, create memories and talk about the day's experiences. Don't forget to try the traditional dishes like Plov and Manti.
- As the sun sets, end the date at the Tashkent Observatory. Lay down on the grass, get cozy and gaze at the twinkling stars above. It's a perfect spot to open up about dreams and aspirations, while occasionally spotting a shooting star. Make a wish together, who knows, the universe might just answer.
Preparation steps:
- Before the date, it's crucial to do a little homework to truly appreciate the botanical garden. Learn about few plant species that would be available during September. This way, you could surprise your partner with little snippets of interesting information as you walk around. Also, make sure to gear up with comfortable footwear and light clothing as the day could be warm.
- Try to book a table at Chayhona #1 ahead of time, preferably in a quiet corner for a more private and intimate experience. Also, get a brief idea about the traditional foods available to make the ordering process easier.
- Lastly, check the time for star gazing at the observatory. Since this date is more on the casual side, keep the attire relaxed, yet stylish.
Some tips:
- Don't rush through the botanical garden. Walking slowly gives you more opportunities to discover new plants and take in the peaceful environment. Use some of your knowledge from your pre-date research to impress your partner.
- While having lunch, take the opportunity to try local cuisines. Shared experiences like this create lasting memories and can be a topic of future conversations. Relish every bite and make sure to compliment the food.
- At the observatory, don't be shy to hold hands or lightly put your arm around your partner while looking at the stars. Make sure you carry a blanket to lay down on the grass comfortably. Lastly, remember that the magic lies in the small moments, so be present.
