Pishag'ar

Pishagar lies at the foot of the Molguzar mountains in the country east of Jizzakh. Its name has been interpreted from Sogdian words for the front of a mountain, fitting its position between the heights and the plain. A cave near the village preserves traces of much older human occupation. The streams and valleys descending from the range join the cultivated country around Zomin, while the mountains rise steeply above the settlements at their foot.
