Zarafshan Range, Mountain range in northern Tajikistan.

The Zarafshan Range extends 370 kilometers from east to west, featuring numerous peaks that exceed 5,000 meters in elevation, including MGU Peak at 5,418 meters.

Russian explorers conducted the first systematic mapping of the Zarafshan Range during the mid-19th century, documenting its glaciers and geological characteristics.

The valleys surrounding the Zarafshan Range contain settlements of Tajik and Yaghnobi communities, who maintain traditional mountain agricultural practices.

The range contains 241 glaciers covering 189.6 square kilometers, with the Shakhristan and Anzob passes providing vehicle access between major regional centers.

The Kiev Abyss cave system within the range descends to 990 meters depth, containing significant geological formations and underground chambers.
