The Darvoz Range or Darvaz Range ({{langx|tg|Қаторкӯҳи Дарвоз}}, {{langx|ru|Дарва́зский хребе́т}}) is a mountain range in the Western Pamirs, in Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of Tajikistan. Its name derives from the historical region of Darvaz. Great Soviet Encyclopedia

Geography

Starting near the Academy of Sciences Range by Mount Garmo, it stretches roughly southwestwards between the Vanj River and Panj River (following the flows of the two), and the {{ill|Obikhingou|lt=Khingob (Obikhingou)|tg|Хингоб}}, a left tributary of the Vakhsh River. The Vanj River separates it from the Vanj Range. Roughly 750 km2 of the mountain chain are glaciated.

The highest summit of the range is Arnavad Peak (Qullai Arnavad), a 6083 m high ultra-prominent peak.{{Cite web|url=http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enc_geo/1575/%D0%94%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B7%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9|title = Дарвазский хребет - это...
