Kazarman - Jalal-Abad

In the morning, we leave the mining town of Kazarman and head west to cross the Ferghana mountain range via the Kaldama Pass at 3,000 meters above sea level. On the other side, the landscape becomes greener as the road winds through fertile valleys and one of the largest walnut forests in the country. We continue our descent to Manas (former Jalal-Abad city), where we settle in for the night.

In the afternoon, we set out to explore the city. Our first stop is the sanatorium, perched on a hill, a place renowned for its mineral springs with therapeutic properties. We then take a stroll through the heart of Jalal-Abad, visiting its bustling market and central squares, soaking in the local atmosphere.
