The Fergana
Valley stretches across central Asia forming a crucial part of the northern
silk road which historically linked China to the west. With the Tien-Shan
mountains to the north and the Gissar-Allai to the south, it is an area of
stunning natural beauty and despite the relatively dry climate, the valley
boasts green and fertile plains thanks to the Rivers Naryn and Kara Darya,
which meet near Namangan to form the Syr Darya.
