According to the department, employees of the Kadamjay district internal affairs department held a meeting with local residents at the tourist site "Dugoba," which is located 40 kilometers from the district center. The event was organized as part of the implementation of the directives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic.
From February 9 to 15, police officers conducted a public safety check, document verification, and technical condition checks of vehicles belonging to citizens engaged in taxi services at the tourist site of the climbing base "Dugoba" in the A.

Additionally, explanatory work was carried out among residents of border areas regarding tolerance, interethnic harmony, adherence to laws, and conflict prevention.
Uzbek citizens vacationing at the climbing base were also reminded of the need to respect the laws of Kyrgyzstan and local customs.
Reference
This area is located 40 km from the village of Kadamjay, where the best antimony in the world is produced. Kadamjay is situated along the banks of the Shakhimardan River, which flows down from the northern slopes of the Pamir-Alai. The Shakhimardan River is formed by the tributaries Ak-Suu (on the left) and Kok-Suu (on the right). Below the confluence of these rivers rise two cliffs: Kala-Choku and Uzun-Choku. In ancient times, these cliffs served as natural fortresses. Many tools of primitive man and ceramic shards have been found in their vicinity. At the foot of Kala-Choku, images of goats are carved into the rocks.
Below the drawings are bowl-shaped depressions, which likely served as places for sacrifices. At the confluence of the Ak-Suu and Kok-Suu rivers, at an altitude of 1400 meters, lies the village of Khankha-Abad, surrounded by picturesque nature. Khankha-Abad is administratively part of Uzbekistan and forms a geographical-political enclave. Before the collapse of the USSR, Shakhimardan (the old name of the village) was the most popular vacation spot for residents of the Fergana Valley. Now, due to circumstances, Khankha-Abad has lost its significance as a tourist center. Nevertheless, as interstate relations between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan improve, the area may once again become a popular center for tourism and recreation.
In the lower part of the Ak-Suu valley, a wide river flows through several channels. Ten kilometers upstream lies the village of Iordan. At an altitude of 1550 meters, the small river Dugoba flows into the Ak-Suu from the south. Even higher, the Ak-Suu receives the tributaries Shivali and Hadzhir. The sources of the Ak-Suu are formed by the confluence of Eki-Davans and Archa-Bashi, which originate from the glaciers of the Alai Range. On the left bank of the Ak-Suu River is the botanical reserve "Chyragdan," covering an area of 500 hectares, aimed at protecting desert low-mountain steppe vegetation and habitats of tulips: Pink and Fergana. In the upper reaches of the Kek-Suu gorge, seven kilometers from Khankha-Abad, lies the picturesque lake Kurban-Köl (Blue Lake) at an altitude of 1650 meters. A cable car, which operates during the summer season, leads to the lake. The water in Kurban-Köl is blue. Nearby, in the Kenk-Suu gorge, there is another lake, which has been named Jashil-Köl (Green Lake) due to the bright greenery of the surrounding juniper forests and lush herbs. This area also features several easily accessible caves of tourist interest. Among them, the most interesting is the Kalmak-Unkur cave, located on the right bank of the Kek-Suu River, 9 km southeast of Khankha-Abad. The cave is a large underground hall adorned with rare stalactites, measuring 60 meters in length, 35 meters in width, and 15 meters in height. There is a small lake at the bottom of the hall.
In the powerful mountain knot of Dugoba, there are many interesting rocky-snowy peaks. Among them stand out: Peak Uzbekistan (5232 m), Akhunbaeva (5200 m), Materie (5010 m), Frunze (4550 m), Ulitor (4530 m), Tashkent (4600 m), Ak-Tash (4970 m), Aydar (4750 m), and others.
