Fanu kalni / Fann Mountains
Fanu kalni ir starpgrēdu kalnu masīvs Centrālāzijā, daļa no Hisora Alaja kalnzemes Tadžikistānā. Izvietojušies starp Zaravšanas grēdu ziemeļos un Hisora grēdu dienvidos. Par austrumu robežu uzskata Jagnobu un tās pieteku Fandarju, rietumu — Arčamaidana. Masīvs sastāv no vairākām austrumu—rietumu virzienā orientētām grēdām; augstākā Fanu kalnu un visa Hisora Alaja virsotne ir Čimtarga (5489). Vēl septiņas virsotnes augstākas par 5000 metriem. Inta pirmo reizi devās uz kalniem 1976.gada vasarā, kur piedalījās Latvijas tūristu kluba organizētajā kalnu turiādē. Tas bija ļoti interesants pārgājiens pa savdabīgi skaistajiem Fanu kalniem, kura laikā Inta uzkāpa Mirali (5132m) un Čimtargas (5489m) virsotnēs. Īpaši skaists bija viens no daudzajiem ezeriem – Alaudina ezers ar dzidro, skaidro ūdeni un krastos augošajām arčām. Izbraucot no kalniem, vairākas dienas apskatījām Samarkandas skaistās, vecās celtnes.
Fann Mountains (also known as the Fanns) are part of the western Pamir-Alay mountain system and are primarily located in Tajikistan‘s Sughd Province between the Zarafshan Range to the north and the Gissar Range to the south. In the east-west direction they extend from Fandarya River to Archimaydan River, and the cluster of Marguzor lakes known as the 7 lakes west of Archimaydan is also included in the Fanns. The highest point in Fann Mountains is Chimtarga Peak (5489 m). Inta first went to the mountains in the summer of 1976, where she participated in a mountain tour organized by the Latvian Tourist Club. It was a very interesting mountain hike through the peculiarly beautiful Fann Mountains, during which Inta climbed the peaks of Mirali (5132m) and Chimtarga (5489m). One of the many lakes – Lake Alaudina with clear, blue water and archas (junipers) growing on the shores was unforgettable scenic. Leaving the mountains, we visited the beautiful, old buildings of Samarkand for several days.
