Walks on Silk Way of Uzbekistan.

"After descending from the Kok-bel Pass, we found ourselves in the valley of the Pskem River. This is a large, clay-colored, turbulent river. At first, the Pskem Valley truly deserves this name. Then the Pskem cuts deeper; already Nanai hangs on the shale pebble bank of the river, and then the valley itself no longer exists, but there is the gorge of the Pskem River."
