Manas has served as a local settlement in Kyrgyzstan’s Jalal-Abad Region since the Soviet period. It lies in the Fergana Valley, a broad and fertile basin shared by Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, with the Tien Shan foothills rising north and east of the valley floor. The nearby regional centre of Jalal-Abad is known for its mineral springs, while farming and trade continue to shape daily life across the region. Kyrgyz cultural identity is closely tied to the Epic of Manas, the great oral tradition centred on the legendary hero Manas and recognised by UNESCO.
