The Isfara ( Tajik Исфара ; in the upper reaches of Aksu , in the middle reaches of Karavschin ) is a river in Central Asia .
The Isfara rises in the Kyrgyz region of Batken . It is fed by the glaciers on the northern flank of the Turkestan chain. It initially flows in a western arc around a foothill chain. It then maintains its course in a northerly direction. It flows through the Tajik exclave of Woruch . She later crossed the border into the Tajik province of Sughd . There it flows through the city of the same name Isfara in the southwest of the Ferghana Valley . 30 km further north the river reaches the border with Uzbekistan at Rabot . The Isfara formed an alluvial cone north of Rabot . Today the incoming river water is directed to the Great Fergana Canal to the northeast.
The Isfara has a length of 130 km. It drains an area of 3240 km². The river is mainly fed by meltwater from glaciers and snowmelt . 60% of the annual runoff occurs in the summer months from July to September. Some of the river water is diverted for irrigation purposes .
