Chiroqchi

Chiroqchi lies in the Kashkadarya basin, west of the mountain country around Shahrisabz. The Kashkadarya receives waters from streams descending from the eastern heights, including the Oksu upstream from the town. Near the river stand the ruins of Kishmishtepa, identified as the remains of a medieval city. Fields and settlements occupy the valley as it opens westward from the mountains into the broader oasis country of southern Transoxiana.
