Description of the Peak and its Location

Peak Yastreb is located in one of the southern mountain spurs of the Gissar Ridge system, known as the Sanginavishta mountains. The most convenient approaches to the peak are from the tributaries of the Takob River — Taykutal and Drishint.

• Taykutal
• Drishint Peak Yastreb is the highest peak in the Takob district. Its height is approximately 4300 m. The peak rises sharply among the surrounding peaks and has a characteristic silhouette with very steep rocky slopes and a double summit, which is why the local population calls it "Dushokha," meaning "two-horned."
