Batken

Batken stands at the southern rim of the Fergana Valley in southwestern Kyrgyzstan, where the foothills of the Turkestan Range descend toward irrigated farmland. It is the administrative centre of Batken Region, which was established in 1999. The surrounding borderland is shaped by Kyrgyzstan’s intricate frontiers with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, including enclaves and narrow corridors that make this one of Central Asia’s most complex boundary areas. Apricot orchards and other irrigated crops are an important part of local agriculture. See how Batken fits within the Fergana Valley and Kyrgyzstan’s southwest by browsing webcams nearby.
