Once known as Jangy Talap, the village has now taken back its historical name, Kurtka. Situated along one of the ancient Silk Road routes, Kurtka is renowned for the mausoleum of Taylak Batyr, a legendary Kyrgyz hero. The village lies at the foot of the Kurtka River, not far from the birthplace of the famous poet and thinker Togolok Moldo in the neighboring village of Ak-Tal, on the left bank of the Naryn River.
