Darvaz Range

The Darvoz Range or Darvaz Range (Tajik: Қаторкӯҳи Дарвоз, ‹See Tfd›Russian: Дарва́зский хребе́т) is a mountain range in the Western Pamirs, in Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of Tajikistan. Its name derives from the historical region of Darvaz.

Geography

Starting near the Academy of Sciences Range by Mount Garmo, it stretches roughly southwestwards between the Vanj River and Panj River (following the flows of the two), and the Khingob (Obikhingou) [tg], a left tributary of the Vakhsh River. The Vanj River separates it from the Vanj Range. Roughly 750 km of the mountain chain are glaciated.

The highest summit of the range is Arnavad Peak (Qullai Arnavad), a 6083 m high ultra-prominent peak.
