Jalal-Abad is the third-largest city in Kyrgyzstan, situated along the northeastern edge of the fertile Fergana Valley. Long celebrated for its healing mineral springs and thermal sanatoriums, it has been a famous spa destination since Silk Road times. Surrounded by lush walnut forests—including nearby Arslanbob, the world's largest natural walnut forest—Jalal-Abad is an ideal base for exploring southern Kyrgyzstan's natural beauty and rich agricultural culture.
