We visited this fortress after Ayaz-Kala and this one seemed even better to me. You can drive much closer, it's easier to climb. You can walk, climb, and watch everywhere inside.
It took us about 30 minutes to inspect, we climbed everywhere, looked.
Part of the fortress has been renovated.
It is very difficult to imagine what and how it was here many centuries ago, but you can still at least try) unfortunately, there are no information stands, so you need to search and read everything on the Internet.
It's worth a visit. Definitely the most interesting places, but! With a good guide. Which will tell you a lot of interesting things. We went with Inessa, I really liked it - both the story and the communication and the answers to all our questions.
I must say right away, I didn't like it.
We went as a group, nothing has been done for tourists. There are no paths, no sanitary stops, no stands with a description of the attraction. There is a desert around, a terrible wind and sand (full eyes, mouth, nose...) So-so pleasure... While Uzbekistan is not ready to receive tourists, it is not ready at all. The roads in the country are terrible. Broken Soviet asphalt.
In general, I do not recommend visiting for another 10 years. Then maybe civilization will reach there.
The place is amazing in its energy. Ancient, powerful. Lovers of architectural beauty have nothing much to do there - little has been preserved. But it is possible and necessary to feed on the energy of earth and fire in the fortress of the Zoroastrians.
On the one hand, half of the fortress has been restored from the outside - and this makes it possible to see how the fortress could have looked in ancient times. On the other hand: restoration is essentially rebuilding anew, i.e. not an original structure, but a "remodel". Mixed impressions.
