Arslanbob

Arslanbob lies among the mountains overlooking the Fergana Valley, surrounded by extensive walnut and fruit forests. Walnut trees grow on the slopes between the Fergana and Chatkal ranges, beneath higher peaks and alpine pastures. The forest yields nuts and wood as well as shelter for a rich variety of plants and animals. Villages sit among the wooded valleys, where the annual walnut harvest has long been a distinctive feature of local life.
