Zarafshan Range

The Zarafshan Range (Russian: Зеравшанский хребет, Tajik: Зарафшон, Uzbek: Zarafshon; also Zeravshan or Zarafshon; from the Persian word Persian: زرافشان‎‎ zar-afshān, meaning "the sprayer of gold") is a mountain range in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, part of the Pamir-Alay mountains. Almost all of the range belongs to the drainage basins of the Zarafshan River. The Persian name is believed to possibly be a reference to gold found in bed of the Zarafshan River and its tributaries, which has ushered prosperity to the region from ancient times.
