and Pamir-Alay. The travellers cross in the picturesque valley of
Otuzart river from the mountain village Arslanbob. The village lies
on the southern slopes of the Ferganaridge. The river Otuzart is covered
with the relict nut-tree woods. The travellers cross the woods, climb
to alpine zone and get over the pass Bell-Munchak, come down to lakes
of Karasu river. After crossing pass over Ferganarange the travellers
get over to a small lake Kenkol. The travellers cross from the lake
in the good way to Kizil-Unkur. It is the place where the trecking
Tien-Shan finishes. After acquaintance with national traditions and
mode of life of villagers, the travellers leave the Tien-Shan mountains
and go to the south of Fergana valley to the foot of Alay range of

and ice are seen from the tall mountain pass in the background of
