Karatag River

The Karatag or Qoratagʻ is a river of northwestern Tajikistan and eastern Uzbekistan. It flows through Shirkent National Park and flows down the south slopes of the Gissar Range mountain range.[1] Large seismic landslides occur in the river basin and it also contains several glacial lakes.[2][3] It is an inflow to the Surkhandaria River.[4] Zambar River and the Diakhandara River are tributaries, the latter of which meets the Karatag at the Diakhandara Glacier.
