Approaching the Fergana Valley, the river turns south, crosses the border between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, flows through the city of Kasansay (in the Namangan region of Uzbekistan), continues southward, passes through the city of Turakurgan (also there) and turns west towards the regional center of Namangan to the Syr Darya.
