Chiluchor Chashma is well-known place that receives daily visitors from Dushanbe, as it is very easy to reach from the Tajik capital. For this reason, it gets very crowded especially on weekends.

Spring is an ideal place to stop, picnic or swim, but there are some legends that make this place a sanctuary. Legend has it that when Ali, son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, came here with his army, he prayed to Allah for water because his army was thirsty. In the morning, his prayer was accepted. With each step of Ali, another spring sprang from the ground.

The waters that come from the springs and turn into a pool are extremely clear. You can easily see many fish jumping out of the shadows between the rocks. The pool has a blue-green hue, partially reflecting the sky and the green of the leaves of the trees above it.
