The Pamir-Alay is a mountain system in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, located north of the main range of the Pamir Mountains. It encompasses four main mountain ranges extending west from the Tian Shan Mountains. They are variously considered part of the Tian Shan, of the Pamir, or a separate mountain system. The term "Pamiro-Alay" is also used to refer to the mountain region encompassing the Pamir, the Pamir-Alay proper (then referred to as "Gissaro-Alay") and the Tajik Depression. The Pamir-Alay stretches between the valleys of the Syr Darya (Fergana Valley) to its north and the Vakhsh to its south. Its highest summit is Pik Skalisty (Russian: пик Скалистый; lit. 'rocky peak'), with an elevation of 5,621 m (18,442 ft), in the Turkestan Range. The Pamir-Alay is about 900 km long in west–east direction, and up to 150 km wide in the Western part.
