Kazarman
Encyclopedia
Kazarman is the capital of Toguz-Toro District
, Jalal-Abad Province
, Kyrgyzstan
on the Naryn River
. One source rather impolitely says that "this poor dust-blown settlement in northern Jalal-Abad Province has something of the sinister reputation of a tough mining town down on its luck". The Makmal open-pit gold mine just to the south no longer provides employment opportunities. The town is largely cut off in winter when the roads are closed by snow. There is a small airport, but it currently (early 2008) is served by no flights. The road southwest to Jalal-Abad
city normally requires a 4x4 as far as the Kaldama Pass over the Ferghana range. Once over the pass the country opens out to the Ferghana Valley. The road east through Baetov
and Dostuk
to Naryn
is somewhat better.
The town is a base for visiting Saimaluu Tash
